    Default I want to see my backing!!

    The bluegill, crappie, catfish and bass have been fun, but I want a huge carp!! Eat the fly and rip backing off my reel.

    take your fly line, remove the backing, cut 50 feet off the back end of the fly line then retie the backing on. hope this little tip helps.

    Or... you can do like I do and clean your fly line in the kitchen sink just because you want to make sure that the backing is still there

    Try to hook a decent size bass and set your drag as light as possible. That works for me.
