Scientific Anglers XTS Gel Spun Backing

Scientific Anglers XTS Gel Spun Backing allows more reel capacity thanks to advanced technology. Exceptionally small-diameter backing is braided to increase the inherent strength of the material. Up to 75% more reel capacity than standard material. Stronger than steel in equal diameters. Retains 100% strength while wet. Extremely low diameter allows for more yardage on the spool. Designed specifically for fly fishing with a smooth coating and low coefficient of friction (COF) that minimizes wear on guides. Extremely high abrasion resistance. Extremely high visibility. Impervious to UV rays, gas, oil, salt, and other elements. Material: Braided gel spun polyethylene.
