Cortland Spliceable Hollow Core Backing- 80lb

Cortland Spliceable Hollow Core Fly LIne Backing, also known as C16 Super Braid Fly Line Backing, is the best of the best. For hard core anglers who are looking for the best strength to diameter ratio and who want to get the maximum amount possible on any fly reel.

Braided with a hollow core for fast and reliable splicing. Tight, round weave and uniform pick count (wraps per inch) for an exceptionally smooth surface that packs tightly on the spool with no flattening or digging in. FiberTech penetrates the weave and bonds with the individual Spectra fibers to stiffen and improve the handling characteristics of the line. Fine diameter minimizes line drag when trolling or fighting fish. 16-carrier construction results in incredible resistance to nicks and abrasions.

Cortland Hollow Core Backing sold here in Chartreuse in the 80lb strength/diameter. 100 yards, 150 yards, 200 yards, 250 yards, 300 yards, 400 yards, and 600 yards.

80lb = .016" diameter  16 Braid Carrier  30 picks per inch

* We can also of course install this stuff on a reel for you in place of standard dacron backing. We do of course have to charge for it, as it is much more expensive, but we are happy to offer this service and keep bulk spools here in the shop for rigging. We also offer a variety of custom rigging options with this stuff. Please give us a call if any questions.
