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

Another use for it is a popular rig for Steelhead, and other fishing where
you have enough weight to pull the line out on it's own. It's not tapered
same diameter through and through.
