Cortland Spliceable Hollow Core Backing

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. Sold here in 600 yard spools. 40lb, 60lb, 80lb in white and chartreuse. 

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.

* 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.
