When you buy your line and backing, the shop should put it on for you and tie the knots all for free, if not they are doing you a disservice,therefore you should not have to worry how much to put on. If you have it and are trying to do it yourself,the amount of backing varies with every reel and every line. Usually 50 yrds of backing works on 6 wt. lines.
