How to Attach Backing to a Fly Reel

[backdraft808]

Thanks. I just turned in my reel for repair and didn't recognize the knot at the end after removing the backing.

Yo mr. lovetocatchbass! The only people who are gay are the ones who call other people gay because of their hobby!

[TheLovetocatchbass]

@TheLovetocatchbass Can you tell me why people who like to post comments like these never use capitalization or punctuation? Come on dude, at least throw a period on the end!

@TheLovetocatchbass meat chucking is for pussies, real men fly fish, it takes actual skill.

[TheLovetocatchbass]

@sleepbasics not when your fishing for 60lb wels catfish you fat fuck. fly fishing is gay and i bet i catch fish 6x as big as what you catch.

[Bonecollector621]

how much backing should you use?

[theflyfishers]

@Bonecollector621

The amount of backing depends upon the particular reel/size and fly line that you are using. Most reels include a reference chart that will tell you; if you don't have one they are pretty easy to find on the internet.

thanks! i was just wondering about can you do this on about prety much any reel, like baitcasters ETC and it work well?

[theflyfishers]

@halo5549 Thanks. I use this on baitcasting and other reels as well. It works just fine with monofilaments too.

Very well demonstrated with an excellent explanation. Just over 100 words - not as easy as people might initially think!
