fly line backing alternative

Recommended Posts

I use braid. Kastking 20lb. Comes in colours if that's your thing and is plenty strong enough. Also comes in bigger spools than fly line backing for same price

Not sure what pinch would require my use of mono as backing.

 

The rather obvious pinch is having nothing else on hand and having to set up an extra spool in a hurry. I obviously wasn't advocating the use of mono in place of dacron. And we hardly needed the lecture on why mono isn't optimal as a fly line backing.

Chris NH,

 

Sorry you to took it as a superfluous lecture and an affront.

 

My intent was to save some newB, as I was when I tried it, from thinking why not?

 

In that context, I still think it worth saying, as you did not specify the down sides.

 

Regards,

Rocco
