Scientific Anglers XTS Gel Spun Backing Blue

If you’re looking for the best backing available, nothing can beat the Scientific Anglers XTS gel spun backing.

With a diameter a fraction of the standard material, XTS retains its strength in the water, offers extreme abrasion resistance, and can fend off the worst the elements have to offer.

75% more capacity than standard material.

The solution for saltwater blue water fly fishing requiring high backing capacity and all tropical fly fishing with long running species (bonefish, jacks, trevallies, milkfish, etc.)

Also great for migratory salmonids when casting all day with a lightweight fly reel with limited backing capacity is arm, shoulder and back saving.
