"Add Backing to My Reel - Yes Please!"

Review: I need strong backing and lots of it for an upcoming trip. The SA Ultra Premium UHMW-PE was recommended and I am glad I went with it. It is more expensive than normal Dacron backing, but with 30# Dacron I couldn't get near the amount I needed, so the 50# SA was the ticket. Love this stuff!
