Line and Backing Capacity

Line and Backing Capacity for Pflueger Medalist Reels

The following measurements are GUIDELINES ONLY. The actual amount of backing required for individual Medalists may vary due to differences in tension used when winding backing and fly lines. Discrepancies in winding machines, variations in manufacturers’ fly lines, and personal preference may affect the amount of backing that you get on your reel. The following measurements were made using Cortland DT and WF floating fly lines.
