8 Ply Gel Spun Backing | GSP

Reel Fly Fishings 8-Ply Gel Spun Backing is designed with cutting-edge technology to provide anglers with exceptionally strong, durable, and abrasion-resistant backing for their fly fishing adventures. Made from gel-spun polyethylene (GSP) fibers, this backing combines strength with a thin diameter, allowing you to fit more backing capacity on your reel while maintaining high performance under pressure.

Key Features of Our Gel Spun Backing.

1. Unmatched Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Thanks to its gel-spun polyethylene construction, Reel Fly Fishing’s 8-ply backing offers incredible strength while keeping lightweight. This is crucial for big game fishing, such as targeting Leeries, GT’s, tarpon, or tuna, where heavy fish can make long, demanding runs.
2. Thin Diameter, More Capacity: Despite its high strength, our 8-ply Gel Spun Backing maintains a thin diameter, allowing you to spool more backing onto your reel. This gives you the extra capacity needed when fishing in conditions where fish make long runs, ensuring you won’t be caught short during a battle.
3. Low Stretch for Better Sensitivity: The low-stretch properties of the backing give you immediate feedback when a fish strikes or pulls. With minimal stretch, you’ll experience more control and quicker hook sets, making it perfect for sensitive presentations or fast-moving fish.
4. Superior Abrasion Resistance: Reel Fly Fishing’s Gel Spun Backing is designed for rugged conditions. With its high abrasion resistance, you can confidently tackle tough environments where your line may brush against rocks, coral, or the rough mouths of fish. This ensures long-lasting durability even in harsh conditions.
5. Low Memory for Smooth Performance: Our 8-ply Gel Spun Backing boasts low memory, which means it resists kinking and coiling. This feature minimizes tangles and enhances casting performance, allowing for smoother, hassle-free fishing sessions.

Available in either a 25lb 200-meter spool or 50lb 300-meter spool.
