Fly Line Backing

We offer Scientific Anglers backing & some Cortland backing cut to any length desired (in full yards) up to 1500 yards. Buying in bulk saves us, and you money. But please be aware that you will receive the backing on a spare line cassette. We use only locking cassettes, so there is no worrying about tangles and knots. If you purchase backing with a reel or spool, simply specify left or right hand retrieve, and we will spool the backing for you if possible.

Orvis Gel-Spun Backing - Hi-Vis Chartreuse
$18.00
Provides 75% More Backing—it even gives you more capacity than using 20-lb. Dacron! Braided from gel-spun polyethylene, this incredible backing is 10 times stronger than steel in equal diameters. Retains 100% of its strength while in the water. Very small diameter allows for significantly higher yardage on the reel, giving you the combination of slower spool rpms on runs and faster pick-ups. Extremely abrasion resistant, yet has very low coefficient of friction so it will not damage your guides. Unaffected by UV, gas, oil, salt, or detergents.

Orvis Gel-Spun Backing - White
$12.00
Maximum Strength with Up to 60% More Capacity than Dacron. 35-lb.-test Gel-Spun Backing gives you more capacity than using 20-lb. Dacron, which is why it is the backing of choice for big-game angling. Braided from gel-spun polyethylene, this incredible backing is 10 times stronger than steel in equal diameters. A very small diameter for higher yardage on the reel means slower spool rpms on runs and faster pickups. Gel-Spun has virtually no stretch, is extremely abrasion-resistant, yet has a very low coefficient of friction so it will not damage your guides, and retains 100% of its strength while in the water. Unaffected by UV, gas, oil, salt or detergents.

Cortland Bulk Blackspot Super Braid
$109.95
Why is Cortland's Spectron considered the best Super Braid in the industry? Our braiding technicians have combined specific critical elements to maintain the optimum number of "picks" per inch for this high performance polyethylene fiber. The result is a time-tested braid that combines low stretch (4%) with small diameter pound/test ratio. The extra limp body is perfect for casting. Its unique slick, hydrophobic nature allows Spectron to slice through the water and come back to you dry!
