Leland on Scientific Anglers Dacron Backing
Probably to coolest thing in fly fishing is to have a fish run off all
your fly line and "get into" your backing. For the trout angler that
generally means one thing - A huge fish! For the saltwater angler, it
happens more frequently but it is still a thrill everytime.
We back all
fly lines with Scientific Anglers dacron. You should too! To determine
the correct size and amount needed please refer to the Specifications
for the particular reel you are purchasing. There is an item that is
similar to "Line + Yards of Backing: 2 + 75 20#". The 75 and 20#
(LBS) are the answers! Oh yeah, all rigging (loops, line marking, butt
sections) is free with the purchase of reel, fly line and backing.
Here's to more fish into your backing!
Specifications:
- Total Yards: 100 or 250 yd spools available
- Exceptionally thin material for more reel capacity
- Low coefficient of friction minimizes wear on guides
- High abrasion resistance
- Extremely high visibility
- Colorfast
SCIENTIFIC ANGLERS STANDARD BACKING:
Built with
a smaller diameter for more capacity. Standard backing is built with
advanced 3M technology that allowed SA to create small diameter backing
without losing the inherent strength of the backing material.

Fishing Products
Scientific Anglers Fly Fishing Products
was founded in 1945 by fellow anglers Leon Martuch, Clare Harris, and
Paul Rottiers in Midland, Michigan. They developed the first modern,
plastic coated fly line in 1952, replacing silk fly lines which had
been in use for well over 100 years. In 1954, Scientific Anglers Fly
Fishing Products introduced the Air Cel, widely considered the first
modern floating fly lines. Scientific Anglers' development of 3M
Microballoons in 1959 revolutionized the way that fly lines float and
is the standard technology by which all manufacturers float their
lines today. 3M, then known as the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing
Company, acquired Scientific Anglers Fly Fishing Products in 1973.
Scientific Anglers wrote the book on
early modern fly line development, with research and development
resources way beyond the means of other major fly line makers that we
usually see on the shelves.

performing fly line for its application. The Scientific Anglers
Floating Fly Lines all have significant advantages over anything else
on the fly fishing market. At 3M Scientific Anglers™ Fly Fishing
Products, we have an ongoing challenge to our scientists and taper
designers, and that is to set a new standard in performance for every
fly line that carries the Scientific Anglers name. It is not an easy
undertaking and it requires much trial and error and extensive
testing – not only on the water but also in laboratories.
Fortunately at Scientific Anglers, we have unparalleled resources and
the finest fly fishing minds in the business dedicated to building
better fly lines. The list of Scientific Anglers Fly Fishing
Products' advancements is unmatched and we're only getting started.
We hope you'll join us on the water so that you can see – firsthand
