Description

DESCRIPTION Quite a few years back Mikael came up with the idea for a multi-coloured backing that would make it possible to track how much line that leaves your reel during a fight. Our SALAR Multi-coloured Backing is different than what you can find on the markets – it gives you even more control! Our backing change colour only five times on each spool, showing each colour once not to be confused. Fight even the biggest fish with full control. Green – All good Yellow – Good run! Dark yellow – Half is gone, time to move! Orange – Move faster! Pink – Crises, soon to be spooled! DETAILS – 150 m polyethylene (PE) backing – 40 lbs (18.2 kg) strength – 8 strands, 0.30 mm – 5 fluorescent colours each spool, 30 m each colour – Single colour change – Highly visible – Extremely strong and durable

Field Notes

Use as fly reel backing for saltwater or other hard-fighting fish when extra line capacity and visual tracking are important. The multi-color sections help you judge how much backing is leaving the reel during a long run, which is useful during fast, sustained fights.

Pros

  • Highly visible multi-color sections make line-out tracking easy
  • Strong 40 lb PE backing for hard-fighting fish
  • Durable 8-strand construction

Cons

  • Not a leader or fly line, so it does not provide casting performance by itself
  • Color changes may be unnecessary for anglers who prefer plain backing
