Overview

Scientific Anglers XTS 100lb backing delivers a robust, long-ranging option for anglers who prefer a single, dependable supply on the water. With a 100 lb test and a generous 500-yard length, this backing is designed to pair well with heavy fly lines and large reels. The gel-spun polyethylene construction offers a smooth, uniform fill on the spool, minimizing friction as you reel through long retrieves. The blue tint helps you monitor the backing visually during line handling and after re-spools, making management easier in dynamic conditions.

Key Benefits

  • 100 lb test backing designed for heavy lines and big-game setups on large reels
  • 500-yard length minimizes the need for frequent re-spooling during long trips and saltwater expeditions
  • Gel-spun polyethylene yields an exceptionally smooth diameter for reliable flow through guides and reels
  • Blue color enhances visibility on spool and when inspecting wear or remaining backing

Real-world Uses

  • Saltwater adventures with large reels and powerful lines for species like tarpon or marlin
  • Freshwater rigs that pair heavy fly lines with large reels for extended season use
  • Extended casting sessions where consistent backing helps reduce interruptions
  • Backups on multi-day trips, giving you more time on the water without spool changes

Care and Handling

  • Rinse with fresh water after saltwater use to remove residue
  • Dry the backing completely before storage to prevent moisture damage
  • Store away from direct sunlight and heat to preserve performance
