This is a good value. Backing seems to be an overpriced item considering it generally doesn't get used.

A:
There is no easy way to determine how much backing to use on a fly reel.Start by winding the fly line onto the reel.
Then, wind on enough backing to fill the reel.
Unwind the backing to another spool.
Unwind the fly line to a separate spool.
Wind the backing to the reel.
Tie the fly line to the backing with a nail knot.
Wind the fly line to the reel.
That's it...
A:
My personal preference is never smaller than 50 yards but no longer the 100 yards.
A:
The backing should be about 100 yds or more, with fly line added you would run another 85 to 100 yds.Q:

just wondering is their any need for backing while fishing for pan fish or small bass ( i have a 4 wt rod and reel)
Answers
A:
Small fish won't take much line from a reel.But, the reel will perform better if it is filled close to it's capacity.
The larger diameter the line on a reel, the faster the line will retrieve.
Backing will allow the reel to be filled near its full diameter.
That is why large arbor reels are popular...
A:
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.A:
Probably not, but backing effectively enlarges the size of the reel leaving larger and fewer loops.Details:
i have b raided line on one of my bait caster but i dont know what kind it is if n ot what is recomendedAnswers
A:
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.Answers
A:
The Fly Line Backing is hollow, so it is oval, not round. The 20# is ~.015-.020" (about 1/64" average), the 30# is ~.020-.025" (a bit under 1/32"). The 30# is best for all but the smallest reels with the lightest fly lines (1-2 weight?).

Answers
A:
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.A:
Well, it's backing line but I assume from its density that it would sink slowly.
A:
Fly line backing is neither floating or sinking line. It's backing for your floating or sinking flyline and takes up the extra space on your reel.1 of 1
