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.
Thanks for the advice RavYak, I picked up 30lb Suffix 832 last night and used the tape trick. Spooled up beautifully. Took it out for a few practices casts, the braided line flows so much nicer than the mono.

Thanks for the Tip
