Attach the fly reel to the fly rod using only the butt section of the rod if it is two pieces or more. Take the tag end of the backing and run it through the rod guides and attach it to the reel spool or arbor with the appropriately named arbor knot. To do this, first make a basic overhand knot around the line.
The two major functions of backing are: 1  To take up the excess space in the reel to give you a better ratio reeling up the line. 2  Backing also will ensure that if you hook a large trout it wonât run out of line and leave you standing there watching 70$ worth of fly line swimming away.
