Cortland Micron is the standard by which all fly line backing has been judged for more than 50 years. World famous for its tight, round braid, smooth low-friction finish and stretch-resistant performance, Micron is manufactured from premium Dacron fibers. Unlike looser, flat braids, Micron comes with zero twist, is virtually tangle-free and knots perfectly every time. Ask any fly angler who sees their backing more than most, and they’ll tell you they use Micron — every time.

This fly line backing is awesome! I use it to hand make cast nets and it is a dream to work with strong, the knots hold like no other line I have used bar none! I haven’t used it for fishing but I couldn’t imagine anyone being disappointed with it. I would definitely recommend. You to give it a try!!
Just finished put it on several reels for my Fly Fishing charter business ------ great Backing !!!
Good backing, does its job
Great stuff.
Seems like a quality backing, the 100 yard spool was plenty for my 5wt reel. I havent had a fish run me onto the backing yet but i believe this line would withstand all the fish i target with my 5wt.
The backing I’ve used for years in both 20 lbs. and 30 lbs.
This line was recommended by several fellow cast net makers because it pulls smooth, clean and tight knots. They were absolutely correct! Good stuff!
I have used Micron backing in the past and am very pleased with it. I haven’t used this particular backing yet bought bought it for the color which comes in handy if a fish gets into your backing. I had that happen last year for the first time while steelhead fishing.
