For backing I found a spool of 18 pound test Dacron? line made for ice fishing in a junk box at a yard sale. I've had this on as backing for a couple of years now and I still haven't seen the line in use while fishing. I'd use whatever you can find on sale. Maybe even something like fly line backing or even one of the brands of braided line. The main reason I used what I did was the line has no memory and doesn't take a set like mono does.
My running line is 12 pound siglon F but anything from 8 to 15 or so should work. As suggested I would try to find something that floats as long as it isn't a braided line. The braided lines will soak up water and freeze faster when winter steelhead fishing.
