Airflo Micro Poly Backing

Airflo Micro Poly Backing still remains our top selling backing due to its durability, smoothness and low diameter. It is our preferred backing for use when loading customer's lines in store.

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 keep your fly line connected to the reel when a big fish strips of all your fly line!

For most purposes, the Airflo 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 a stronger backing line like this Micropoly version. 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. If you want to reduce tangling with backing and have a seamless, no-knot connection then choose one of the braided backings.
