The new Shilton Fly-X Backing is your insurance when it comes to fast-swimming, powerful fish: GT, Tarpon, Tuna, large Salmon, and more. Especially in saltwater fishing, the material showcases its strengths, as the 9-strand round-braided backing is particularly abrasion-resistant and the optimal choice when dealing with coral, reefs, or sharp rocks. The individual fibers are made of ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene, guaranteeing a long lifespan and avoiding issues with mold. PE is the material of choice when aiming for high strength with minimal diameter.
The high visibility of the backing provides you with perfect oversight during the fight, while the smooth surface protects your rod guides, offers less water and air resistance, and lays more evenly on the reel.
The 80 lbs backing is ideal when targeting the strongest fish in the world. With this variant, you make no compromises.
