Default what is a running line?

I'm a flyfishing tyro. My expert friends speak of a "running line"
between the backing and the fly line on a fly reel. What is a running
line? What material is it? What do I hunt for when shopping for it?
All answers will be appreciated.
Thanks, steve winston


You use a running line if you're using shooting heads. (The running line
is the line that's "shot.") If you're using ordinary flylines don't
worry about it. Tie the line directly to the backing.
