Kevlar® NoKnot EZ Back Cast Floating Fly Line
A PVC-coated floating fly fishing line with a Kevlar core.
When space is tight behind you and timing goes to pieces, this easy back cast taper sets the back cast and builds the forward cast for you, so long casts come without the work. Add the Overhang Marker for 10 out of 10 perfect casts, and you get the furthest distance you’ll ever cast with the least effort, while the high-floating stable head lands softly and the 0% stretch Kevlar core and backing fire takes straight into your hand.
I think this fly line is the absolute best I've ever had. I've now bought it for my three favorite reels/rods! I highly recommend it.. :) Ps: I even went up a class on one of my stiffer rods, and it's almost enough with a single back cast to shoot out at least half the reel.. Joy!
Easy to use line, got the first brown trout of the season on the 2. Drift.
Works well in windy conditions, line always lands dead straight.
16 years since I fished a dry fly and using a fly rod. So impressed with how the line performed.
Easy to use Line, got the seasons first trout on the 2. Drift. Works fine in windy conditions and the cast is always dead straight.
I have recently moved to the EZ Back Cast from the Proline to enable me to cast in the very restrictive areas with limited backlash and overhanging tree in the summer season, at Rockbourne.
What a revolation this has been!
The Big fish hide when pressured and the EZ Back Cast has handed the advantage Back to the me, as you can see, Spartic; 9lb 14ozs, from Rockbourne Trout fishery, superb specimen and a truly super fly line, thank you.
The EZ backcast line is performing well here in the Western Lakes region of Tasmania. I have used it for both wet and dry flies and find it presents well on both methods. However I have now decided to dedicate it to my wet fly rod for its ability to throw large wets in windy conditions.
All in all very with it.

I loaded up my 6-weight EZ Back Cast expecting to gain some distance and better control of my casts. In many places here in eastern Tennessee, I target some fairly large predatory Brown trout that are tremendously pressured. To say they are spooky is an understatement. Long casts of 50’ or more to get to them without spooking them is absolutely required. Making casts that distance is hampered even further by trees on the back cast.
Using this new line has enabled me to keep my backcasts under 20-30 feet and shoot far more line than I could with my Orvis or SA lines. Reaching the target is one thing, making it land softly and accurately is another. This line takes all the pressure off both of those issues.
Setting the hook on a 24+ inch bruiser is no problem as this line has just enough rigidity to securely hook up and not be concerned about line stretch.
This is now definitely my go-to predator line for big Browns but I’m certain it will also perform even better going after some big smallmouth bass this spring!
Thank you, Sunray!

Wow! Lovely review, thank you very much Jera. You've certainly put a smile on our faces here...great photos too.
Hi,
As I've been a customer now for a few month's and have nothing but praise for your fly fishing lines,leaders,line slick and two pair of your sunglasses, firstly your low light sunglasses are brilliant for overcast days and late evening spinner hatches on penstock lagoon, your fly lines are second to none, but thats just my personal preference and experience over using your fly lines,s in particular the easy back cast and the over hang markers make it all to easy to cast 30m plus with accuracy and with less back casting the better, the less fish you spook the more fish you catch.
Just some more photos of trout caught using your gear
Kind regards, Craig, Australia.
I've only been fly fishing for about two years and always struggled with casting. This line popped up on my Facebook page and after watching a few videos I bought one. It was expensive for me as a beginner but I was able to spread it out over four payments which was great. As for the line, it was a game changer for me. Even in windy conditions I was able to get the line out a good distance. I would recommend this line to beginners and seasoned vets alike. I am about to purchase the bung floating line next and the magnified sunglasses next. Quality hear and highly recommended.
What a great review Michael, it really means a lot to hear that Sunray lines are making such a difference and putting the enjoyment back into the sport. You've found a way to make the art of fly fishing a lot easier. Thanks from all at Sunray HQ.
I've never wrote a review before but here goes. I got out today for the first time with this line and it is amazing for casting distance. I've only been fly fishing for about 2 years and always have trouble casting. This line does exactly as it says on the tin. You can literally throw the entire line out in one cast. My rod and reel cost less than this line but I swear it's my most expensive purchase I've made fly fishing. It is worth every penny. When I bought the line it let me pay in installments, its like £17 every fortnight. Once I pay this one off I'm gonna order another.
Delighted to hear the EZ Back Cast has made such a difference to you. Thanks for taking the time to leave us this lovely review, from all at Sunray HQ. Email us next time you order and I'll add you a CamoTrucker cap to your order.
I fish the Welsh Dee for Sea trout. I typically use a 10 ft 8 or 7 wt rod - and due to the nature of the river - I need the option of both spey casting and overhead casting. I've tried regular Weight Forwards (Airflo, Snowbee) and Single handed Spey (Maxcatch) - but have been looking out for a line with a good short head that can enable casting with very limited back cast or space for a d-loop. I'm very impressed with the EZ Back Cast - especially when it comes to overhead casting - it just shoots out and although I wasn't convinced about the overhang marker from the advertising, it does make life a lot easier. I had the line down the Dee today and it gave me great coverage - much better than other lines - and I managed a couple of sea trout to christen the line. I was worried it might be very splashy with the short head - but as suggested, the presentation is nice and clean. It even handled a 5ft salmon fast sink poly leader and a 3 inch sunray no bother - turnover was no problem! What a great start. I'd also like to thank Sunray's Customer service, who were very kind to sort me out the line when there was an issue with stock availability -so thank you. All the best, Patrick.
Fantastic review and photo Patrick. Your comments are very helpful to our customers when selecting a line, and very much appreciated by all at Sunray HQ.
I've been fly fishing since I was 6 and by 10 I could cast a 6 weight spey line to the backing. Sadly when I was 12 I had an accident that resulted in a lot of surgery, including reconstruction of my right (dominant) arm. Since then I couldn't cast to save my life due to restrictive mobility in my right arm and wrist. Terrible casts, coils behind and in front, I simply couldn't do it any more. Fishing aside I used to - and still do - struggle using a knife when eating dinner. All is not lost, I loved my course fishing in that time.
I met a chap that worked for Greys, I explained my situation and he recommend a certain rod and a Sunray line, not one of Greys own lines. He recommended the EX back cast so I bought it to go with my Greys rod and reel combo. I wont lie to you but after my third cast I was casting to the backing perfectly straight and i cried as I was back to what I could do when I was a child. Really these are great lines for restrictive back casts but the real strength is for people like me that have restricted mobility and possibly a disability.
Just buy these lines, they are amazing.
Sunray, you have brought back to me a passion I thought I couldn't have again, and it was a competitor of yours that recommended you. Thank you to Greys too.
Casts great! Shoots tons of line out even on windy days. Only downside is tip sinks and then pulls leader and eventually fly under esp in faster water compared to my other floating lines.
Nice easy line to cast , overhang marker a game changer really, especially on windy days
Due to only having one leg, I sit too fish. I started using the no knot EZ backcast lines last year. It has improved my casting immensely and I will be continuing to use them going forward. I would highly recommend giving them a try if your worried about the price start by using the standard EZ backcast it's just as good as the no knot but cheeper as your not getting the seamless line to backing.
This is the best fly line I have ever used. Great product
Game changer, improved my casting big time , highly recommended to anybody that wants to cast a long way from the shore

"Seems so obvious now"
The fact it's one continuous Kevlar fly line and backing is just genius.
Warren C.
"Panic over"
I've got a 100% strong smooth connection so when a fish runs I just let it.
Joshua A.
"NoKnot has changed it for me"
I used to worry about the knot jamming in the rod guides. No more.
Henry L.
"No more expensive backing"
Basically it's like getting free gel spun backing, but better.
Don't take our word for it. Ask Dupont USA.
5 times stronger than steel.
Kevlar is used in the most demanding environments in the World. It has zero stretch which means that your casting gets a hit of steroids, the hook sets are instant and pound for pound your fly line is now 5 times stronger than steel. Because our core does not stretch during casting or fishing, our coatings don't crack.
It's not just our core that is bullet proof
Reinforced welded loop
Featuring a Kevlar core, our welded loops are already the strongest on the market. That wasn't enough for us, we went one step further and wrapped our welds in a micro thin film of protective tubing. Supple, strong and slim.
Cores of steel & coatings of glass.
We're not just a pretty face.
Our fly lines contain microscopic particles of 3M glass air microspheres. Every colour is chosen not just for it's optical qualities but also it's flight characteristics. Our R&D into pigment science informs our coating formulas in a way that has set us apart from the industry for the last 15 years.
NASA® approved.
Interesting Fact : When the Mars Pathfinder landed on the surface of Mars, ropes made of Kevlar® helped it to complete its 40-million-mile journey.
A Kevlar fly line will enhance any rod by any brand. Whether it's carbon, fibreglass, fast or slow, it will make your rod feel like it's on steroids.
Match the line rating to the rod rating. A Kevlar fly line weighs the same as a regular line. It just flies faster and further.
Just use a regular arbour knot, the same knot you would use for tying regular backing to your fly reel.
Kevlar® is very good at repelling water and drying. It is the strongest cord material per diameter in the World. It will not rot.
Regular backing will not be as strong as Kevlar®. We recommend you unwind your regular backing and load with NoKnot, the strongest backing and a seamless connection to your fly line.

So what is Kevlar® exactly?
Casting with the Kevlar® core feels like going from a family saloon to a Formula 1 Ferrari

I needed the fly line for a competition. I ordered on Friday and it was on my door matt Saturday morning, amazing.
I had confidence in the fact the core was made by Dupont and the coating 3M. I wasn't dissapointed. Wow!
I couldn't believe how quick it was delieverd. It felt like I had just placed the order and it was there! All the way from the UK in a matter of days.
Despite Brexit I took a chance ordering from this UK company. Yes, I had to pay taxes but it's the best fly line I have ever bought and it was cheaper than the American brands.
