monger Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Terry when you catch those 28"ers you just have to back your drag to nothing and then pull really hard on the rod....the line just peels off and makes great hero noises. We watched a couple of guys doing this with 18" fish at Whitetail one day...it was priceless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverDoctor Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Go to the fishing Hole, they have it, will bulk fill for you if you want. I like red backing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonAndersen Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 See what happens when you fish in Alberta. You never see your backing knot. But, for whatever reason, BC, Sask, Manitoba, Montana, the backing knots show up regularly. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tungsten Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I wouldn't use red backing if i was loading it with a clear intermediate line, the color bleeds onto the line.No problems if your using a floater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverDoctor Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Weird, never experienced that one. Must be a non stable dye.

Tungsten Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Weird, never experienced that one. Must be a non stable dye. Ya thats what i thought also,wasn't really a big deal as it only tinted the first 10' or so.I try to get greenish colored stuff now for my clear intermediate lines.

flyfishy Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 X-2 red backing is for pros only ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monger Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Hey Tungsten, I've got a chartreuse stained not-so-clear intermediate from some Cortland backing. All the cool guys have stained cleared lines... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
