Product information "Ultimate X Backing Hollow fluo yellow"
This backing is currently one of the best on the market. It is round braided and extremely abrasion-resistant thanks to its clean and tight braiding.
Thanks to the small diameter, direct contact with the fish is maintained at all times, so changes of direction can be mastered without any problems. The backing capacity of the existing reel can also be doubled, with a higher load capacity at the same time. All fly fishermen looking for a high-end backing solution for extreme fishing have come to the right place!
Load capacity + diameter:
- 18.2 kg with an actual diameter of 0.18 mm (a tip for trout and sea trout fishing when there is little space for backing on the reel)
- 19.5 kg with an actual diameter of 0.20 mm
- 21.9 kg with an actual diameter of 0.22 mm
- 24.6 kg with an actual diameter of 0.25 mm
- 27.8 kg with an actual diameter of 0.28 mm
- 29.6 kg with an actual diameter of 0.30 mm
- 38 kg with an actual diameter of 0.40 mm
- 47 kg with an actual diameter of 0.50 mm
- Colour: fluo yellow
- Maximum running length: 2000m
Tip: To increase the optimum knot strength with very thin high-performance backing, double the backing in the knot. This doubles the surface area in the knot and increases the knot strength enormously. The resulting "double loop" also has a positive effect: the surface area when looping in is doubled and possible cutting is prevented.
This product was presented by the Fly Fishing Forum in the "Equipment in practice test" section. The conclusion:
"For us, after extensive SW testing in the Red Sea, Ultimate X is currently one of the best backings on the market. We have equipped all heavy SW reels with the 51kg material, but have also taken a closer look at the other strengths and are highly satisfied. Incidentally, this backing is also ideal for reels that have been bought "too small"... Before you cut off the fly line to get some backing on it, just use the super-thin 22kg...!"
