Simon Mills –
I’ve used this backing for several seasons now and it holds up well under regular use. The knotting is smooth and the line doesn’t stretch much, which is perfect for my fly fishing setup. It’s easier to splice than other Dacron options I’ve tried.
John Peters –
Great quality and consistent performance. The backing is strong and doesn’t fray easily. I appreciate how it works well with my existing fly line and the smooth texture makes tying knots a breeze.
David Howard –
Solid product. The 100-yard spool is sufficient for my needs. It’s a bit thicker than some ultra-thin options, but the strength and reliability make it worth it for regular use.
