So I just put some mono backing line on before spooling with "good" line.

Have you any thoughts on these reels? A 10-bearing reel for $50 is a bargain IMO.
Don’t know much about them except a lot of folks like them. Spare spools have become a rarity. One can certainly get spare spools for the JDM reels but they are quite expensive.....and even spare spools for reels sold here in the states aren’t cheap either. I’m sure like me you remember the day when most reels came with a spare spool.
