Scientific Anglers Dacron Fly Reel Backing

Scientific Anglers Dacron Fly Reel Backing is the link between your fly line and the reel. It earns its keep the moment a strong fish heads for the backing knot. The tight, round braid lays flat on the arbour, so the spool fills evenly and the drag starts smoothly under load. A touch of controlled stretch cushions sudden surges, protecting knots and connections when the pressure comes on.
