Yes.
Yes.
"The man of system is apt to be very wise in his own conceit; and is often so enamored with the supposed beauty of his own ideal plan of government that he cannot suffer the smallest deviation from any part of it…He seems to imagine that he can arrange the different members of a great society with as much ease as the hand arranges the different pieces upon a chessboard.” Adam Smith, The Theory of Moral Sentiments
Ever since I've started using this as backing, the instances of 'overruns' has diminished.
It seems to load on the reel better for some reason? Ergo, the reason I use it as backing.
Saw this a couple years ago. Been using braid backing ever since!

Backing on every reel. Pitching and jig reels have more than cranking reels.
Yes. Braid, just like my buddy AMart.

Yes... Count the number of handle turns it takes to retrieve the bait after you have thrown it as far as you can. Add about 15 to 20 turns to that and the rest should/could be backing.
To be honest, I have not done that "backing" but this is something I might do. I might just get some green or red line and use that for backing.
Yes to all

And my bigger spinning reels too. No need for me to change any more than half the spool
So spool on some braid and then tie the lines together ?
Yes, every reel.

Yes. Put backing on every reel I own. Floro gets re spooled 2-3 times a season. Braid gets flipped half way through the season. I don't get multiple years out of braid, but I do get a full season.

Are you guys taping the braid to the spool also? I though tying braid directly to the spool would cause slippage.
I use old line for backing, any kind will do just don’t tie braid to the spool. Tape it or unusual I put at least a few turns or old line then tie on with a modified Albright knot or a double uni
I use the bright green line for backing so when I am stripping off old with power line stripper I can tell when I start to get close to the knot that I tie the new line to. I had put enough green backing on so I could get 3 reels filled on a 200 yd spool. Now I buy a 1000 yd spool but the system still works for me.
i use backing on all my reels except my striper fishing rigs.

None. When using braid, tie direct to spool, add a patch of electrical tape & done.
Don't bother me, I'm screwing for virginity.
I killed a 12-pack just to watch it die.
Mono backing on all bc’s with about 100 yds of braid and a 6 to 30 ft fluoro leader. Flip the braid end for end every two years. Same deal on my spinning reels.
