Any fly fishing angler who is setting up a fly fishing reel should consider Orvis Dacron Backing. The backing comes in 30lbs and 20lbs test strength and is available in white and fluorescent orange. The hollow material allows for splicing and the dacron material is low stretch with great knot retention strength.
Ideal for
- This is a great backing material assist in properly positioning fly line on a reel.
- This low stretch material holds knots well.
- Available in fluorescent orange to assist with quick visability.
Not ideal for
- This material has a larger diameter than other backing material so a smaller amount can be spooled on a reel.

Orange Dacron line resembled Orange Chalk line
Originally posted at www.orvis.com on Oct 4, 2023While the line was Dacron and orange, it was more like a chalk line than a died line. By the time I had it spooled on my reel, my hands and reel were full of orange chalk that smeared when I tried to brush it off and thus I had to wash it off. Not sure if the line will remain orange once it gets wet or if it will fade and stain everything around it like my fly line, reel, hands and rod reel seat.

Top notch expert!
5 /5
I’m just a gal having fun learning to fly fish and ready to buy my own set up. Having minimal knowledge of what buy and loads of options out there, shopping can be a bit overwhelming. But, Johnny was so great to work with! His knowledge & attention to detail, and humor made it fun & easy figuring out a great starter set up best suited for me.

Matt helped me out of the fog and the overwhelming state I was in trying to buy my first Flyfishing set up…. I would still be fishing for gear a month from now if it wasn’t for him sticking his hand out to me.
5 /5
I’ve dealt with more than a handful of folks on fb marketplace that were downright aggressive, mean, and unhelpful to me over a series of exchanges in my search for gear. Matt was everything but. He not only pointed me in the right direction but he was friendly and knowledgeable as well. I needed all the help I could get and he was there. Thanknu again Matt.

I'm an intermediate angler with little knowledge of equipment. Rylyn was very responsive to all my questions, even the ones I thought were stupid. Very open about what he does and how he is paid. I highly recommend him.

Danny is very knowledgeable about fly fishing while still being approachable and easy going. He answers questions in a straightforward and honest way without applying any pressure to make a sale. In my case, i truly felt like he wanted me to get the best gear at the best price.

I bought an open box Orvis fishing rod and it was at a great price. The condition of the rod and the shipping time exceeded my expectations. The information I received from Capt. Mark was accurate and helpful. I would definitely buy from Curated again.

I wanted to purchase gifts for my husband and son as they are slowly getting into fly fishing. Matt was really helpful in taking a look at what they already have and made excellent recommendations on what they need. I cannot wait to look like a superhero and see the joy on my son’s face with a big thanks to Matt!!

Helped me with some valuable fly fishing knowledge that I lack coming from the conventional fishing world. Hooked me up with a good starter rod and even price matched it with another company. Will be coming back for a reel soon.
