Like others have said, when you spool a reel with braid, it has to be packed on really tight or the line will bury itself.
Some people run it between book pages but I’ve heard this can build up heat and damage the braid if you’re not careful.
The last time I spooled a reel with braid, I first loaded it onto a old Penn Squidder and set its drag to 8lb using my wife’s 8lb dumbbell, put the Squidder on a secured rod and reeled the line onto my new reel. The Squidder got really warm. I’ll make sure I douse it with water the next time I do it.
