XTS Gel Spun Backing by Scientific Anglers features an incredibly small diameter, allowing for significantly more backing on the reel compared to traditional materials. Stronger than steel at the same diameter, it retains 100% of its strength even when wet. With a smooth coating to reduce friction on guides, it is highly abrasion-resistant and visible. The material is resistant to UV rays, gas, oil, salt, and other environmental factors, making it perfect for fly fishing in challenging conditions.
- Up to 75% more capacity compared to standard backing
- Superior strength to steel of the same diameter
- Maintains full strength when wet
- Highly visible with UV protection
- Material: Braided gel spun polyethylene
