Cortland Gel Spun Fly Line Backing – 300 Yards, 30 lb, White

Cortland's Gel Spun Backing is crafted from ultra-strong gel spun fibers braided to precise specifications. The tight, round braid creates a dense, smooth profile that helps you pack more backing onto smaller spools. This setup is designed for anglers who value dependable performance, long runs, and versatility in varying conditions without the need for frequent re-spooling.

Color can matter on the water, and Cortland offers hi vis options to aid visibility and tracking. Choose from yellow, pink, blue, or white to keep an eye on backing levels as you work through a day of casting and presentation. The backing is offered in 30 lb, 50 lb, and 80 lb test ratings and is available on 300-yard and 2500-yard spools, giving you practical flexibility for different reels and line configurations.
