Depending on the size of the reel you may need to put about 20yds of backing under the braid so you have close to a full spool, but yes you can. My crappie reels are 1000 series and I spool 2 reels from 1spool of 10lb braid. I would look at the line capacity of the reels and go from there.
on my phone, I have a app called "fishing knots lite" -- it has step by step instructions on at least 100 different knots --- it has video's and diagrams --- the diagrams work without cell service--- one of the best "fishing tools" I own
I typically stop at about 1/8" to 1/16"from the edge of the spool.
That has got to be a significant challenge in many areas. Your dexterity must be incredible on your existing hand. I’m going to try tying some one handed knots. Have you ever tried YouTube to see if there are any suggestions?
I don't know that I can tie any knot with one hand but the Alberto seems to be one of the easier knots for joining two lines
I currently tie Palomar, Improved Cinch, and Snell knots no problem with one hand.
I stop at the point where the spool begins to flare. If I overfill, I get a lot more rat nests because the line comes off multiple loops at a time.
My hat is off to you Mr. Bennett and your effort and love for fishing. I can't imagine trying to tie with one hand, that is awesome. With that being said, I grew up with a guy, that only had one arm, and he was amazing to me as a kid, that he could do anything with one arm and no prosthetic back then. He could even swing a sledge hammer with the best of them. Again, my hat is off to you, I take things for granted some time, and reading your post sure made me think.
You are too kind KY, thank you.
If I'm there, I would certainly try for sure. And that is perfect timing for them to be into the bank for the spawn
. I would love to be where PFD just came back from in the San Juan arm for some Crappie fishing 
They both have their applications. For trolling, I agree 100% with you. Casting baits or deep jigging, braid and a fluorocarbon leader is much more sensitive. I just came back from a trip where the walleye were really shallow. You could only get them on super light jigs that would sink slowly. Because braid floats, you get to see a subtle take when the line twitches.
Braid unbreakable?
Huh, Your crankbait that dives 20 feet will be on top?? I respectfully say you are incorrect! Last week running at 4mph plus we were hitting bottom at 20 feet plus and lots of Stripers and walleye disagreed as well, as they gobbled up size 9 flickers!! Mono is great for many applications , but you are missing out if not using braid and or fluorocarbon for various applications. I have rods rigged with all 3 in the boat when at lake Powell and other fisheries! and as mentioned above you can get braid in 10 lb to as heavy as you wish so many options. I can tell you I lose a lot less tackle on braid and don’t see any lower catch rate, sometimes with leader, sometimes tied direct!
