Field Notes

Fly line backing is used on a reel under the fly line to increase capacity and provide extra line for long runs. This gel-spun backing is especially useful when targeting strong fish that can take line quickly, and it pairs with fly reels rather than being cast by itself.

Pros

  • High capacity for its diameter
  • Very strong for equal diameter
  • Useful for fly reel backing

Cons

  • Not a standalone fishing line
  • Premium price
