"Fairplay" fly line backing - 20 lb test. This is available in the fishing
dept. at Wal Mart. 50 yards costs about $3.00. Also, if you have a West
Marine boating catalog or a sail boat shop in your area you can get a
sailor's leather palm which makes pushing the needle through the casing a
breeze. The only frustrating part for me is trying to repair casing cuts.
I have never found a very useful way to patch the casing so that the tube
didn't eventually pinch through and re-puncture.
