ducksterman, that is cool as heck, thanks.
Backing on my reels, pretty much what everyone else said. I use Battenkill LA's (English), a couple of Battenkill Mids (English) CFO's (English- Spring/Pawl) and one BBS V with as much backing as I could put on it for STEELHEAD. I have seen my backing on several occassions, but with the LA that is to be expected with a 50yrd capacity, but always able to chase. Steelhead, I am not taking a chance, however if it gets into 100yrds of my backing I am sure I can kiss that line goodbye
