I started using 20 lb mono for backing to help cut down on how much line(floro) that I go through. It’s time to re-spool all my rods. Do I need fresh backing too or will the old backing work?

ask yourself the last time a bass had you down to the backing when fighting it.

ask yourself the last time a bass had you down to the backing when fighting it. A little over a month ago, on squaw. Of course it started by casting down to the backing. Haha. Aggressive fish. I have braid setups that the backing has been on the reel since it was first spooled up. Fluorocarbon setups have no backing. I use cheap red label line though.
Eat. Sleep. Fish.

You should use braid as backing, you will get longer cast.

I change my backing every year when I clean my reels. Strip the spools so I can clean then throughly

IMO,if your backing comes into play when you cast, you have too much backing. When i put backing on it lasts for the life of the reel. It's only there to take up space so i can use less line. I think thats the thinking of those that use backing,
