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.

Best for

  • Large saltwater and pike fly reels
  • Filling oversized fly reels
  • Lines that require extra backing

Skip if

  • You need 20 lb backing for trout
  • You use monofilament backing

Strengths

  • 8-strand hollow design soft and knottable
  • Highly abrasion-resistant Dacron
  • 300-yard length fills large reels
  • Fluo yellow visible for line monitoring

Trade-offs

  • 30 lb is heavy for small trout reels
  • Hollow weave may pick up dirt
  • Not ideal for compact fly boxes
