That is a good question. It will depend on your reel. Most fly lines are in the 82 - 85 ft range. Basicaly you do not want to much string on the reel. Only about 2/3 or a little better of the reel should be filled. If you string can handle some backing then its a good idea. It helps make the inner loop a bit larger giving the string less chance of a tight memory. Another thought is that if you get a fish that wants to run hard then the 85 ft fly line can run out quickly, The backing is very strong and can give you plenty of extra room for a good fish to run.
I don't see why not, my grandfather's bait casters all had braided line on them.I caught my first Pike and a 21 pound gar on one of his bait casters when I was nine years old.
This is fly line BACKING not to be confused with fly LINE. Backing is spooled on first then the fly line ( level, tapered,floating,sinking, etc.) is attached to the backing with a blood knot. then the fly line is spooled on.
