Key Benefits

• 8-Strand Hollow Braid Construction: Premium 8-strand hollow braided design delivers superior strength-to-diameter ratio, smooth line lay, and excellent knot-tying performance — critical for secure connections to your fly line and reel arbor.
• High-Strength PE for Abrasion Resistance: High-tenacity PE fiber resists abrasion from guides, rocks, and structure — keeping your backing intact during long runs from hard-fighting fish like trout, salmon, and steelhead.
• Minimal Stretch for Instant Sensitivity: Low-stretch construction transmits every head shake and run directly to your hand, giving you better control and faster reaction time during the fight.
• Rod Guide-Safe Design: Soft, low-friction surface with good curl memory won’t nick or damage your fly rod guides — protecting your investment cast after cast.
• 7 High-Visibility Colors: Black/White, Black/Yellow, Blue, Green, Orange, Purple, White, and Yellow — easy to track on the water and helps you monitor backing depth at a glance.
