由 David Rose The Scientific Anglers Fly Line Backing (20lb/100yd, Orange, New) is a high-quality backing designed for fly fishing. Here are the key details:
Features:
– Strength: 20-pound test (ideal for most freshwater and light saltwater applications).
– Length: 100 yards (provides ample backing for most fly reels).
– Material: Durable, abrasion-resistant braided nylon or Dacron (typical for fly line backing).
– Color: Bright orange (highly visible for easy backing management).
– Compatibility: Works with most fly reels and fly lines.
– New Condition: Unused, in original packaging.
Purpose:
– Backing Role: Attached between the fly reel and fly line to provide extra line capacity when fighting strong fish.
– Prevents Spool Overrun: Ensures you don’t run out of line when a fish makes a long run.
– Knot Strength: Designed to hold secure knots when connecting to the fly line (often via a loop-to-loop or nail knot connection).
Best Uses:
– Freshwater: Trout, bass, pike.
– Light Saltwater: Smaller saltwater species (if paired with a corrosion-resistant reel).
– Balanced Setup: Pairs well with 4-8 weight fly lines (adjust based on reel capacity).
Alternatives (if unavailable):
– Rio Powerflex Backing
– Cortland Micron Backing
– Orvis Dacron Backing
Pro Tip:
– Always check your reel’s capacity to ensure 100 yards fits (some large-arbor reels may need more).
– Use a backing-to-fly-line knot (e.g., Albright knot) for a secure connection.
