GSP Braided PE Backing (FOR REELS ONLY)

This is not for resale. This is only for adding to a reel or spool purchased in conjunction with backing.  If you need to purchase backing, please look HERE

Premium 8 carrier backing is made of the finest materials from Japan.  8 strands of tightly woven fibers makes for a round backing that stacks perfectly on the fly reel.  The result is a stronger, softer and smoother performance backing.  The breaking strain and diameter make this a perfect choice for all fishing, from pan fish to ultra-big game such as GT's, billfish and tarpon.
