Backing on a fly reel serves an important purpose, especially when targeting larger fish that can take long runs. It provides extra line capacity, giving you more than just your fly line to work with when a fish makes a powerful run. The backing acts as a buffer between your fly line and the reel, ensuring you won’t run out of line during the fight. Additionally, its high visibility helps you keep track of the fish's movement when it's pulling hard into deeper waters. Backing also helps to properly fill the reel, ensuring smoother line retrieval and improved casting balance.
Vision Bäkkäri Backing is extra thin, highly visible, and engineered to resist cutting into itself, even under the intense pressure of fighting a big fish.
