Questions & Answers
It is contingent on the fly reel you are using. There is no such thing as a "universal" fly reel. I have a 7/8 weight fly reel and only use about half of the 30 pound backing I purchased. Use 20lb backing if you're not catching fish that are 30 pounds or more. However, if your reel can hold a lot of line, 30lb is the way to go. I hope this information is useful. Have a wonderful day. This line is a delicate balance of strength and softness. It has a lot of advantages for the fly line.
On my tying bench, I have three different types of braided backing: SF, SA, and Cortland are the three boroughs that make up the city of San Francisco. None of them specify the line's diameter; only the line's strength and length are specified.
This isn't a floating line because it's only backing; it's not coated and will sink, unlike the main fly line, assuming it is.
For the past six months, I've had this yellow backing on my fly reel. After about twenty uses, I haven't noticed any bleeding or fading. I use this backing on a 4 weight panfishing outfit, and I've never had a fish take me into it.

It's the backing for a fly line. If we're being honest, most people won't ever catch a fish large enough to peel off enough line to see the fly line backing on the reel unless they fish saltwater. Even if you fish in salt water and/or catch fish large enough to peel off enough line to see your reel's backing, this stuff will suffice! Apart from that, this is a good fly line backing with some unique colors that complement the colors of the fly line and reel. It performs just as well as any other fly line backing I've ever used from any other company, and at a reasonable price. In addition, 100 yards per spool is plenty of backing for most reels. I've purchased several spools of this material in various colors for my reels and am very happy with it. After it's been cut, this stuff frays a little, but so does every other fly line backing I've used. That problem can be solved with a light touch from a lighter on the end. Don't let a few negative comments about fraying line deter you from purchasing this item. I've had no problems with any of the spools I've purchased, and I believe it's just as good as any of the big name brand manufacturers of fly line backing currently on the market, which I've also used.
1/2" up. On top of that, the backing had a cut and run halfway through it! Obviously, I didn't notice until I was spooling it onto the reel that this was the case. It was a real letdown. br>br>Change the date to a couple of days later. A new spool was substituted for the backing by Amazon. For the time being, I've changed my rating from 1 to 4 stars because there were no snags or cuts in it. I'll make changes to the review as I use this backing. Thought for the day: don't buy a product like this if you're in a hurry to use it. You'll be better off if you have some time on your hands (in case you run into issues). I hope this information is useful.
This item is clearly shown on a spool in the product images. The product I received was in a tangled mess in a plastic bag. I had no choice but to spend hours untangling it because I was leaving for a fishing trip the next morning at 5:00 a. m. This is something I'd never buy again. I finally figured out how to untangle this mess after 6 hours. Very let down. Is it possible that I received a used product? I'm not sure how you can claim that you take pride in your work. Sunshine Fishing, unfortunately, did not provide a pleasant experience. It was an especially gloomy day.
It's a form of support. In the mountain states, I go trout fishing. I'm not a big fan of using my backing. I've most likely lost control of the fish if I'm in my backing. I don't usually allow the fish to win. I just got back from a fishing trip, and I used the backing twice: once ahead of me and once behind me. Happens. I should be able to review it now that I've backed out. I assume it worked because it didn't break. I'm not sure how you'd know which one performs better than the other. It worked for a good price.
The purple-colored line frayed, and the weave began to unravel no matter where you cut it. This has not happened to me because I have the blue color. This is a low-cost, low-quality backing; it's a letdown.
Once cut, the line frays badly, so good luck threading it through your eyes or trying a basic uni knot; I decided to go the cheap route and boy was I wrong; I ordered four rolls and have no idea what to do with them. It'll most likely be thrown away.
A nice line is essential for good casts, but by the time you get down to the backing, all you need is strength and length.
Frayed ends can be easily fixed with a lighter. So far, no complaints; the blue complements the medium-toned stain on my wood net nicely.
