    Default Fly line backing alternatives...

    I've never seen the backing on some of my reels. I mean, I remember putting it on there and I can see it through the holes but it's never actually gone through the guides. Outside of dacron and gel-spun is there an alternative to these that people use? Cheap..25lb kite string ? Might be a ridiculous Idea...worth a shot though. Have medalist spools to fill 3 1495's and 2 1494's, it got me wondering.
