Trolling Reel Backer Line - Eagle Claw Lake & Stream Monofilament

This is the line that we use when filling our trolling reels with backer line. Most often, we only use 400-500ft of good main line on our planer board rods when trolling for walleye. Since most trolling reels hold 1000+ ft of line, you do not want to fill the entire spool with expensive main line. Fill your spool up with this cost effective Eagle Claw backer line, then splice in your main line. We splice our line with a blood knot. When it's time to replace your main line, cut it at the knot and replace main line only. This backer filler line will last many seasons. When putting your backer line on, you want it to pack tightly. To do this, make sure you fill the spool with a good amount of tension. Depending on the size reels you have and how much main line you run, you should plan on putting on at least 450 FT of backer line per reel. Larger reels may require almost a whole spool of backer line. Keep this in mind when ordering. 

• 20# - 275 Yards per spool ( 825 FT )
• Average line diameter of .018
