Attach the fly reel to the fly rod using only the butt section of the rod if it is two pieces or more. Take the tag end of the backing and run it through the rod guides and attach it to the reel spool or arbor with the appropriately named arbor knot. To do this, first make a basic overhand knot around the line.
Fly Line Backing. Fish with confidence knowing that you have Orvis fly line backing on your reel. When you want the best or need the ultimate in durability and capacity, choose our gel-spun backing. When you just need a well-performing, basic backing material, our Dacron backing fits the bill perfectly. Gel-spun backing is ideal for big game anglers who need more capacity for heavier fly line. Gel-spun backing has minimal stretch and maintains 100% of its strength while in the water. Attach your fly line to either high-viz backing or plain white backing before venturing out on your next angling adventure.
