Discover Cortland Gel Spun Fly Line Backing

Crafted from gel-spun polyethylene, this braided backing delivers outstanding strength with minimal stretch, translating to heightened sensitivity and quicker feedback when you’re on the water. The white color helps keep the backing visible against water and bait, while a generous 65 lb test and 300 yards of length provide a reliable foundation for a wide range of setups.
