Description / RIO Fly Line Backing
RIO, a global leader in fly fishing, with a reputation for pioneering high-performance lines, leaders and accessories. Their commitment to excellence in fly fishing lines especially, mean that even the backing is meticulously designed and rigorously tested to perform flawlessly.
RIO offers a range of backing options to suit every angler's needs. The traditional RIO Dacron braided backing is a fantastic all-rounder, known for its high strength and low stretch. Its round profile and balanced weave ensure it will stack neatly on your reel, and it’s thin enough to give you plenty of capacity without being too difficult to tie.
This Dacron is incredibly thin, allowing you to maximise the amount of backing that you will have available when a big fish does decide to run, giving you safety for when that big fish is on the go.
We here at angling active would advise that you very securely tie this backing to your line with a loop to loop connection, as it is incredibly low stretch.
It is available in breaking strains of 20lb (suitable for trout) and 30lb (suitable for salmon) and in various spool lengths to suit various requirements.

Thin diameter
High strength
Low stretch
