Field Notes

Fly line backing is used on the reel arbor under fly line to increase total line capacity and provide extra reserve for long runs. Gel-spun backing is especially useful when targeting strong fish that can take out a lot of line.

Pros

  • High strength for its diameter
  • Adds extra reel capacity
  • Designed for fly reel backing

Cons

  • Not a standalone fishing line
  • Premium price compared with basic backing
