Description

Cortland Micron is the standard by which all fly line backing has been judged for more than 50 years. World famous for its tight, round braid, smooth low-friction finish and stretch-resistant performance, Micron is manufactured from premium Dacron fibers. Unlike looser, flat braids, Micron comes with zero twist, is virtually tangle-free and knots perfectly every time. Ask any fly angler who sees their backing more than most, and they’ll tell you they use Micron — every time.

Field Notes

Fly line backing is used on the reel beneath fly line to add capacity and provide extra reserve when a fish makes a long run. It is especially useful for fly anglers targeting strong fish that can take line far from the reel. The hi-vis orange color helps with visibility during rigging and spooling.

  • Tight round braid
  • Smooth low-friction finish
  • Stretch-resistant
  • Virtually tangle-free
  • Knots well

Cons

  • Not a fishing line for casting by itself
  • Color may be too visible for some applications
