65lbs RIO Gel Spun Backing - Per Yard

- PLEASE READ ALL NOTES BEFORE ADDING TO YOUR ORDER - 

RIO's premium 65lb, 8 carrier backing is made of the finest materials from Japan. 8 Strands of tightly woven fibers makes for a round backing that stacks perfectly on the fly reel. The result is a stronger, softer and smoother performing backing. The bright multicolored backing changes color every 10 meters and compliments 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 GTs, billfish and Tarpon. 

This 65lbs Rio Backing is only offered per yard and only to be spooled on a reel purchased at Anglers All or brought into the shop locally in Littleton, CO by a customer. This Rio Backing cannot be sold individually. 

Please pick your preferred color, and whether you are a left hand retrieve angler or a right hand retrieve angler. 

Please choose the quantity of backing you need based on the size of your reel. Because all reels are different, we will fill the reel to the perfect amount and if that measures less in yards than you purchased, you will not pay more then we used. If it is over, we will cover the difference. 

All 6wt reels and bigger will get a Bimini Twist Loop tied in to the end of your backing. All 0wt through 5wt reels will not.
