I watched a fly fishing video one time and the host (don't remember who, didn't like the video much) mentioned using monofilament for backing and line with leader and tippet attached. It looked quite interesting to me and the concept seemed like an obvious one to try. The guy didn't seem to have any trouble getting the line off.
Anyone ever try this and what were the results?
I've got an extra reel and thought about trying to do this one for a while now. I'm curious what size(s) mono would be required to make it work on either a 4 wt or 6 wt rod.
