When I began flyfishing I just went along with how some gear was presented to me by the flyshops/experts.
I realized a couple times I had way too much backing on my reel. It was actually effecting my retrives. Have since specified to the person who was putting my new line on that I did'nt not want a ton of backing on my reel.
(As a side note- I still have never been into my backing. Look forward to that still)
Too much makes it difficult to retrive and strip out line to me.
Too little and your getting little coils???
What's your take on backing. Any formulas on size of reels or line size as to how many feet you go with?
