Reasons for that are so 1 you don't have your braid slip and 2 because braid is expensive, and with that backing you don't use as much braid.
If the only reason you want to put mono backing is so that it won't slip, I would suggest bringing it in to turners or anywhere that does line. The way we do it on the machine is we will put a tape on the spool to stop it from slipping. Then we will spool the braid on very tight so that it won't dig into itself.
I never put braid on my reels by hand just because of that reason. Always use the machine.

which Turners do you work in? Just curious. I'm debating about spooling my reel myself or have someone else do it while I patiently wait (and shop around)
