Micro poly backing is our best selling backing for both fresh & saltwater fishing.

Fly line backing serves two basic purposes. The first is to fill up your reel so that your fly line completes the filling of your reel to within, say, 1/8th inch of the spool capacity. The second is to still stay connected when a big fish strips of all your fly line! For most purposes, the No Frills backing is perfectly adequate as a trout backing line.

If you require a stronger line, say for salmon fishing,then you should consider another backing line on this counter.

If you are using small reels and have limited space for the backing but require a long length of it for big fish - then, again, you require one of the more advanced backings.

ATZ Fly Line Backing is braided white Dacron® on spoolsof 50 m, precision processed with uniform strength.

Twelve pound test is for light lines and smaller reels. Twenty pound test is for trout, bass, and most freshwater fishing. Thirty pound test is for salmon and saltwater. 

RIO’s traditional Dacron® braided backing features high strength and low stretch and is unsurpassed in quality.

A good compromise between thinness and the ability to make blind splice loops as suggested in our fly line set-up guide.

It’s easier to knot than brands that are very thin but have too tight a weave for a blind splice loop.

RIO's Hard Mono Saltwater tippet is a very stiff, super abrasion-resistant nylon tippet material.

Ideal for casting the largest flies and in tough winds to get the very best turnover.

RIO's premium 65lb, 8 carrier backing is made of the finest materials from Japan.  8 strands of tightly woven fibers makes for a round backing that stacks perfectly on the fly reel.  The result is a stronger, softer and smoother performance backing.

 The bright multicolored backing changes color every 10 meters and compliments fly reels with a beautiful splash of color and functionality.  

The breaking strain and diameter make this a perfect choice for all fishing, from pan fish to ultra-big game such as GT's, billfish and tarpon.
