Complete Your Gear with the Right Reel Backing
Don't let the fish of a lifetime escape because you chose inadequate reel backing. Wild Water's tested fly line backing collection gives you confidence to target any species, knowing your gear won't fail when it matters most.
Our fly line backing colors (bright orange dacron, bright yellow gel-spun) provide maximum visibility for knot tying and line management. Each spool delivers consistent diameter and breaking strength, which are essential when big fish make powerful runs beyond your fly line capacity. Unlike cortland or rio alternatives, our backing splices cleanly and holds knots securely through countless fishing seasons.
