Here is a video of winding a large cable. The thin stuff doesn't have a fiber core and I don't double braid the tail or put a nut on the end like they do. I just wind up a single pigtail and put a 1/16" ID crimp tube over it and crimp.

I don’t care for cable. Our fish don’t justify the need. Went with stiff dynema. Testing today
