    This is the reel that I am buying with my fly rod and I would like to know how much backing I could put on it?I fish a loch with brownies with the odd 2 lb trout.There is also sea trout in the lake and I want to be prepared in the event that I accidentely catch one.I am getting double taper fly line and for the second spool weight forward sinking line.I will mostly be using the floating line.I would like to know how much leader could go on it for trout fishing.I also fish stocked rainbows occasionally.

    This is the reel: http://www.fishingmegastore.com/leeda-profil-fly-reel~4177.html

    Tight Lines,

    What I usually do is fill the reel in reverse, i.e. reel in the fly line and then add backing on top until the reel is nicely filled, then you have the ideal length of backing for a properly filled reel when you reverse them.

    Being honest maddog given the exchange rates at present you might be better off shopping locally. Could be worth calculations before buying anything.
