Delivery and Shipping

We endeavour to get your order to you as soon as possible. Shipping is usually same day if ordered before 3pm (Tuesday-Friday). Once your order is dispatched a confirmation email is sent to your email address with the tracking details.

Guideline Braided Backing is a nice dense backing made of polyester with colors that will not come off. 20lbs strength is normal for all types of trout fishing and line weights up to #7. For heavier coastal fishing and salmon and seatrout #8 to #10 30lbs is the normal type. 50lbs is for the biggest salmon with line weights #10-12 and tough tropical fishing for tarpon, GT and other big, fast saltwater spieces.

 

Backing on your fly reel is an essential piece of gear. There are a lot of benefits to having good backing on your fly fishing reel. Fly reel backing is normally made of dacron or braided polyester, it is the first layer of line you will put on your fly reel. Backing is a braided line made up of many small strands. It comes in many different tensile strengths. You need fly line backing to fill up the extra space on the reel. (For the same reason you would use a large arbor reel) To allow you to take up line faster. With only fly line and no backing on your reel, you will not be able to reel in as fast as you would with backing. You also need it in case you hook a large fish, because the fish needs to be allowed to run. With no fly line backing on your reel, the maximum the fish will be able to run is the length of your fly line.
