I've seen many reviews for fly lines, but hardly ever any for backing.
I realize it is not as important in many situations, because an 8" brookie
never pulls more than about a foot of fly line. However, I also want to
do
some salt water fishing, and know backing choice will be much more
important.
I know Orvis, SA, and others make small diameter backing. Does anyone has
advice on the best backing (for the money)? Anyone compared a couple
brands
and have preference?

Thanks

Small diameter backing is not very good for sal****er fishing, it tends to
cut your hands, tangle, and is generally unpleasant to handle. Most of the
peoplr I know use some form of braid, in the 20 to 30 lb BS class. I use
something similar myself.

One or two now do indeed use fine diameter gel-spun line, but I don´t like
this, for the reasons given.

Flat monofil ( amnesia), works, but also tangles and knots in cold weather.
