I would also, for the same two reasons in the last few posts, and also to spread the line out a little. I can usually spool 3-4 feels buy putting backing on (cheap mono or fleuro) That stuff's not cheap at $15-16 for 125 yds.

Just make sure you have enough on to cover your casts!!!!

Clean spool, Dacron backing, proper knot.
Arbor Knot

1 extra wrap around the spool is always good.

I have a couple of rods set up with Spiderwire Fusion for trolling junk for walleye. Never had a problem and seldom lose a lure...or fish. Tried Fireline a few times....didn't like it.

Power Pro comes with a few small adhesive pads to stick to the hub of the spool... 

Wrapping twice over that stuff and tying tight sure seems to keep 'er in place...

I am definately among the ranks who swore against Power Pro for several years when it first came out.  But as more guys started using it for Tarpon down in the Everglades I finally caved in and spooled a big reel with it.

As the years went by, more and more rigs in my collection went to Power Pro... 

Now it is on just about everything...  All the way down to 8lb on the ultralights.  That stuff is no joke!

I am a full-blown convert now these past few years.  There is no doubt my crankbaits troll WAY deeper on the braid.  And my topwater frogs are sweet on the stuff.  The braid cuts lily pads N-I-C-E!!! 

And my 1/16oz jigheads SAIL out there on the lighter lb test PowerPro...  Amazing, really.
