The trick is to tie your knot then take some hockey tape or electrical tape or duct tape and tape the line to the spool. I like the hockey tape with the rougher surface.
This tapes the line in place and then also acts as a surface for the braid on top to grip onto better(especially if you use the hockey tape).
Or you can tie a few feet of mono backing on instead but I would use 30 lb instead of 10(no reason to go light), you can get a short bit of mono for backing from fishin hole etc that sell bulk line if that is the reason you were going to go light.
