What is the best knot to use to a) tie wire to reel when spooling (or can I just tape the wire to the spool?) and b) tie wire to leader?

I am not going to use backing I have read different things about whether it’s necessary and am going to keep it simple. I assume a leader should be used but most people seem to use a “haywire” knot, which looks like it would slip right off. Is there a different knot that can be used with wire?

Looking to add a wire setup to the trolling weaponry this year.

Sorry if this has been previously answered/posted.

I think you will want mono backing so you don't have to fill your whole spool with wire. Here is a video and haywire twist for attaching leader.

Haywire twist, if done right, will not slip.
