BACKING LINES

Backing Lines

What is fly line backing?

Fly line backing is the first section of the line, which serves two purposes. 1. It adds line to your arbor (the part of the Reel that holds the line), which makes it easier to reel in your fly line and additionally adds weight to your reel which helps with rod balance and provides for longer casts. 2. It also provides additional length for when fish make longer runs. A typical fly line is about 90′, so if a fish decides to run further than that, backing gives you the extra length.

If you are planning on reeling in some feisty, big fish or are looking for the fly fishing basics, browse our range of fly reel backing to ensure you never miss a once-in-a-lifetime catch.

Fly fishing backing reel from the fishing experts

As one part of the four essential reels that every fly fishing rod should have, fly reel backing shouldn’t be overlooked.

Find the perfect length and weight of fly line backing to best suit your fishing needs — our range includes 25lbs, 30lbs and 100m, 200m and 300m spools available in various size packs for your convenience.
