Fly Fishing Backing & Accessories: Essentials for a Successful Fly Fishing Day

Fly fishing is more than just casting a line. It’s an experience – a chance to connect with nature, hone your skills, and land that trophy catch. But even the most seasoned angler knows that packing the right equipment is essential for success. That’s why we offer a comprehensive range of fly fishing backing and accessories, all designed to elevate your time on the river.

Backing: The Hidden Powerhouse

While fly lines take centre stage, backing – the line that sits beneath your fly line – plays a crucial role. It provides the strength and capacity needed to handle powerful runs and unexpected battles with big fish. Here at Fin & Game, we stock a variety of backing options to suit your needs:

• Braided backing: Known for its strength and thin diameter, braided backing allows you to store more backing on your reel, giving you the upper hand when big fish make heart-stopping runs.
• Dacron backing: A more traditional choice, Dacron backing is a good option for beginners or those targeting smaller fish. It’s cost-effective but still offers decent strength.

Essential Accessories for the Discerning Angler

Beyond backing, we offer a selection of fly fishing accessories that will make your time on the water more enjoyable and productive:

• Leaders: The vital connection between your fly line and your fly, leaders come in various lengths, tapers, and materials to suit different fishing styles and target species. We stock a variety to ensure you have the perfect setup for any situation.
• Tippet material: Tippet, the fine section of line at the end of your leader, requires careful selection based on the size and strength needed for your chosen fly and the fish you’re targeting. Our selection covers a range of breaking strains to ensure you have the right tippet for the job.
• Shooting Head Dispensers: lightweight and compact storage for your shooting heads.
• Braided Loops: A quick and easy way to attach the leader to a fly line or backing to the line.
• Storage Wallets: Ideal for storing leaders, shooting heads and sink tips.
