This RIO Fly Fishing Tip shows how to use a metered backing to fill a fly reel. Most trout reels need around 100 meters of backing, and if you know this, using a backing that changes color every 10 meters makes it very easy, quick and simple to gauge when you have the right amount of backing on the reel.

RIO’s Fly Fishing Tips series are short, less-than-a-minute videos, each bought to you by a RIO employee or ambassador and showing a single fly fishing tip to help you become a better fly fisher. The series includes freshwater, saltwater and Spey topics, and a mix of casting, fishing and gear tips – some basic, some technical, and everything in between.

Each new tip is released on RIO’s Facebook and Instagram pages every Friday, so if you like the sound of this series and want to get these tips quickly, be sure to follow RIO on these platforms.
