Which backing should i get? (20lb or 30lb)?** A: it depends on your fly reel. all fly reels are not equal. I have a 7/8 wght fly reel and end up only using maybe not even half of the 30lbs backing that I got. if you are not catching 30lb plus fish, go with 20lb backing. but if your reel is holds a lot of line than go with 30lb. hope this helps☺have a great day. this line is soft/strong & it benefits the fly line well. **Q: what are the diameters (in mm) for each one?** A: The line it’s self has all the info I received. Sorry I do not have a caliber gauge to measure mm. **Q: Is it floating line** A: Since this is only backing, no it isn't a floating line. It's not coated and will sink unlike the main fly line, assuming that it is a floater. **Q: Can I use on my fishing rod for blue gills?** A: This product is FLY LINE BACKING... This product is intended to be used as backing line on a fly reel, NOT as a main line. If you're using your set up to fish for blue gills (or anything else really), yeah, this will work on your fly reel, followed by fly line, then a leader, and finally some tippet to the fly itself. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Backing line *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 16 June 2026* Seems good as any ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 100% *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 21 June 2026* Just the job .
