Used this backing for marlin fishing and found it to be very durable. The splice connection is smooth and strong. No knots to worry about, which is a big plus in high-stress situations.

The 70 lb version holds up well under heavy pulls. It’s smooth and doesn’t snag easily, even in rocky or sharp environments.

Good abrasion resistance and easy to splice. A bit stiffer than expected, but works well for big game fishing.
