I got my SOM 16 from JDM as Saltywater was out of stock. Since then Saltywater tell me they are back in stock. Saltywater had the cheapest by a fair bit. I managed an extra 20 metres (340metres) of PE6 by using only tread tape (white plumbers tape) as backing. It sits a little proud of the lip to begin with.

How much tape did you wrap on mate?

better than mono backing as far as slip goes?

Cheers

Ben Barnes:
Not much. Maybe four or five wraps thick

Ben Crarer:
Sweet, perfect timing, just about to spool up a reel!

Cheers

thought this might be worth a looking... Nature Boys' RPS Spool has just been launched.
