Available only when purchasing SKB reels and fly-lines in conjunction with each other, and starting at £10.00, we’ll load your SKB line(s) onto your chosen SKB reel(s), spare spool(s) or cassette(s). This service, PRICED PER REEL or SPOOL, includes sufficient 20lb b/s backing on your chosen spool(s), enough to bring the fly line to within a reasonable distance of the frame and a strong knotted connection to the fly line itself. As an indication, this will usually be around 50-75 yards on our standard reels with 4-8# lines and well over twice that amount on the larger capacity reels. Please specify in the options which type of reel you wish spooled, in which direction, and if you wish the braided loop to be attached or just supplied.
Please note that backing line colour may vary according to availability and is not available to purchase separately.
