Product information "Shilton FLY-X Braid 120lbs Backing 3000m Large Spool"
The new Shilton Fly-X Backing is your insurance policy when targeting fast-swimming, hard-fighting fish: GT, tarpon, tuna, large salmon, and more. Especially in saltwater fly fishing, this backing material plays to its strengths. The 9-strand round braid is highly abrasion-resistant, making it the ideal choice when coral, reefs, or sharp rocks are involved. The individual fibers are made from ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene, which guarantees a long service life and prevents mold issues. PE is the material of choice when you need maximum strength with minimal diameter.
The high visibility of the backing gives you a clear overview during the fight, while the smooth surface protects your rod guides, reduces water and air resistance, and lays evenly onto the reel.
The 120 lbs backing is perfect for targeting the world’s strongest fish. With this version, you’re making no compromises.
