Cortland Fishing
fly backing on Shakespeare 1094 fly reel?
i'm new to fly fishing and i'm wondering how much 20lb.test (cortland micron brand) backing i'm supposed to put on a shakespeare 1094 fly reel, or if theres a speacial way to tell how much to put on. i went to there site and for backing it said "30/20#" and being new to fly fishing i did'nt know what this meant.
easiest way i know of is.
-attach your fly-line to the spool of your reel with masking tape. if it is a weight forward line make sure you attach the shooting head (the larger diameter end).
-reel it on to the reel.
-then use whatever knot to attach your backing and fill the reel to where you think the capacity should be.
-cut the backing then strip everything off.
-attach the tag end of your backing to the reel using whatever knot you are comfortable with.
-reel everything back in and your reel will have the proper amount.
my father taught me that little trick years ago. he has over 60 years of fly-fishing under his belt and i have 35. i have done it countless times and it works.
here is a good link for the new to fly-fishing folks. i use it as reference all the time and i have fished the fellows that own the site.

best of luck and enjoy
AIRFLOW. well done on the site for knots. i sometimes take it for granted that folks know how to tie knots because i do it so often. i have bookmarked the site from your link to give to friends and family i appreciate it and they will too.
