RIO GSP Backing – White
RIO’s premium 65lb, 8 carrier backing is made of the finest materials from Japan. 8 strands of tightly woven fibers make for a round backing that stacks perfectly on the fly reel. The result is a stronger, softer and smoother performance backing.
The bright multicolored backing changes color every 10 meters and complements fly reels with a beautiful splash of color and functionality.
The breaking strain and diameter make this a perfect choice for all fishing, from pan fish to ultra-big game such as GT’s, billfish and tarpon.

The backing stacks smoothly on my fly reel and feels very strong. The color change every 10 meters is a nice touch and adds visual appeal. I’ve used it for both pan fish and tarpon, and it performs well under pressure.
