Fly Lines, Leaders, BackingShop

Maximize your fly fishing performance with our selection of fly lines, leaders, and backing, each playing a critical role in casting, presentation, and landing fish.

Fly Lines:
- Taper Designs: The taper of a fly line influences casting performance, with options like weight-forward (WF) for distance and double-taper (DT) for delicate presentations. Weight-forward lines are the most popular. Double taper lines are suitable for light-line, short-range dry fly fishing where accuracy, roll casting, mending, and fly presentation are important.
- Buoyancy: Choose from floating (F) lines for dry flies and surface fishing, intermediate (I) lines for a straighter connection in choppy water, and sinking (S) lines for fishing in deep or fast water. Floating lines are versatile and commonly used by beginners for dry flies, emergers, and nymphs.

Leaders:
- Function: Leaders transfer energy from the fly line to the fly, ensuring proper turnover and presentation.
- Types: Monofilament and fluorocarbon tapered leaders and furled leaders
- Material: Monofilament leaders are the most common, offering strength and specialized designs for different fishing styles. Fluorocarbon leaders are also popular, while braided and furled leaders offer unique benefits. Furled leaders give better and softer dry fly presentations than monofilament.

Backing:
- Purpose: Fly line backing is essential for increasing the line capacity of your reel, providing extra length when fighting large fish.
