    This combo is extremely lightweight>>> nub.best/qfjg and fun to fish and the reel is the smoothest one I have. They are the most reliable and smoothest rod and reel on the water. Whether you are inshore fishing, pond fishing, lake fishing.

    I don't know what it is with this guy, I just want to punch him in his jacked up face. I don't know if it's your terrible accent, or the super glue, I just want to knock your head off.

    Lewis, what you call a granny knot is just a thumb knot or overhand knot. A better knot is the "figure of eight" which is slightly bigger and will not slip along the line. The whole knot you describe used to attach the backing line to the reel is called the "Arbor Knot"

    Some reels have a slot where you can thread the backing line through the bottom of the reel to a smaller anchor point inside it, this eliminates a bulky knot which might possibly catch the unwinding line.

    Tight lines!

    Braided loops? super glue?

    What's so wrong with a nail knot? All you need is your reel, line and your backing.
    Too much technology when all anyone has to do is learn a freaking knot.

    So you need both kind of line? The pink and the green kind? I've been using only the pink one. Everything you did looks more professional. Does the second kind of line you added floats even more? And the thing you glued. What is it called?

    Hi,
    I am totally new to fly fishing. Do I (necessary) have to have Backing line? If I have 100 yards of fly line plus the leader; why do I need the backing line? With the 100 yards of fly line; I am never going to get to the backing line.  Or do I need to cut the fly line? Does the fly line needs to be only a few yards long? Please help.
