New reel, second time putting braid on by myself. How’d I do?
Hi!
I picked up a Shimano Sedona reel the other day and tried my hand at putting braid on.
Added mono backing, does this look good?

Looks like you have good line lay. It’s hard to tell from the pic but it looks like it may be a little loose… but that could just be all the colors playing tricks on my eyes.
On spools with a beveled lip you can go all the way out to the bottom edge of the bevel. It will work fine the way you have it but you could add a little more to have a full spool.

looks a bit heavy for the reel and spooled a little loosely, isn’t atrocious tho
