Does backing serve any other purpose than providing extra line if the fish takes a big run. Is there any need for the fly reel to be closer to full than say
half full? Maybe just to adjust balance? Tom

A full reel will have less line coil and it will reel in faster.
As you said. You never know when you hook into a big one. |

An additional benefit is that you're not forcing the line into as small a diameter which might keep the line from not taking as much of a set.

I'd say put on enough backing to leave about 1/4" clearance between the spooled line and whatever reel-frame part crosses it.

Spooling on backing allows the fly line to lie flat.
