Shilton Fly Backing Braid

Introducing the Shilton Fly Backing Braid, the perfect fly line backing for the saltwater destination angler!

Made with 9-strands of extremely thin ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene so that it is extremely tough when coming into contact with structure and not too thick so that it creates too much line drag in the water.

It is thinner than Dacron to allow larger backing capacities but not so thin that it’s dangerous to touch when under tension. It has a superior life span because the Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene does not rot.

The Shilton Fly Backing Braid is available in various breaking strains, lengths and colours for you to choose from.

Key features:
Substantially thinner than Dacron which allows less line drag through the water.
Thinner diameter allows for greater line capacity
Lower diameter with a higher breaking strain than dacron
9 Strands of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene
Doesn’t rot like dacron
