Quick take
A 300-yard 30 lb dacron fly line backing with hollow 8-strand weave that is soft, knottable, and abrasion-resistant.
This fluorescent yellow backing is an eight-strand hollow braid of polyester, sold on a 300-yard spool to fill a fly reel beneath the fly line. Its bright color makes the line easy to spot on the spool. Anglers fishing for trout and bass in freshwater will find it suited to fly work where backing is needed.
