Gelspun is the answer
Review by Peter
At last! I can now get a full 300 yards of backing plus the running line and head on my salmon fly reel. My wife and I are planning our fishing trip to Norway and looking for big fish. I am impressed by the low diameter of the 50 lb Airflo Gelspun. The bright yellow colour will improve visibility in low light.

Good quality backing and a lot thinner than I was expecting and feels very strong.

Solid and easy to level
Review by Andrew Smith
I'm not going to wait to fish this backing as I don't expect to reach it on my new 4WT kit so I'll only rate on providing base backing.

The backing is super fine, don't expect it to be enough for larger reels if you only order 100m.

For me the 100m was the perfect amount with an Airflo SuperDri Elite #4 DT to perfectly fill a nice small Orvis Access Mid Arbour II model. It's firm packing, the small diameter makes it nice and level if you take your time and should be a sound backing for this line.

I cut off the loops on my line, nail knot variant at the reel end with a brush of superglue and a Moser loop at the leader end.

Can't wait to fish this and the new DT line soon :)

Increase my backing capacity by 50% just as it says on the tin! Felt I needed that extra more backing just in case in havemy red letter day :) feels better in the hand and very strong.
