I come back to this video about once per year when I reline a reel or get a new one. Thank you again!

I have been Fly Fishing for a few years and thats the easiest method of attaching backing to spool i have seen yet and as i need to fit some backing i will do as you have done - cheers

Thanks this method worked. It took a couple tries but I got it. I just got my fly stuff today and now I'm ready to catch fish. Thanks to you

This video makes it so clear. Excellent. Other instructional videos could learn a thing or two. Thanks.

Thanks for the great instruction!
Is this a form of the Uni Knot?

Thanks for sharing...I'm new and needed help!

Thank you for the clear demonstration of the knot for tying backing line to the arbor. Unclear why some of the comments are homophobic.

Thanks for the video. Much appreciated.

Thanks. I just turned in my reel for repair and didn't recognize the knot at the end after removing the backing.

Hi,
I am totally new to fly fishing. Do I (necessary) have to have Backing line? If I have 100 yards of fly line plus the leader; why do I need the backing line? With the 100 yards of fly line; I am never going to get to the backing line.  Or do I need to cut the fly line? Does the fly line needs to be only a few yards long? Please help.

What knot is that? It looks like the part half of a double uni knot...

I'm new at this, i cant see why you put backing to the fly line.
