RIO's traditional Dacron®
braided backing features high strength and low stretch and is unsurpassed in quality. We have chosen a good compromise between thinness and the ability to make blind splice loops as suggested in our fly line set up guide. It's easier to knot than brands that are very thin but have too tight a weave for a blind splice loop. Available in 20 lb (9.1 kg) and 30 lb (13.6 kg) test. 100 yd (91.4 m) and 2400 yd (2195 m) spools.
Color: Chartreuse.
Also available in white.

Powerflex® GsP Backing
100% gel spun polyethylene, not a blend of GsP and nylon. With very low stretch, excellent abrasion-resistance and small diameter for less drag when fighting fish and fewer break offs. 50 lb GsP is nearly the same diameter as 30 lb Dacron®. Incredible strength, ten times stronger than steel for the same diameter. Increases reel capacity by 80% for the same strength. 100 yds of 30 lb Dacron® equals 180 yds of 30 lb GsP. Available in 30 lb (13.6 kg) and 50 lb (22.7 kg), 3900 yds (3600 m).
