Cortland Micron Backing 30 lb

Cortland Micron 30 lb is a dependable fly-line backing built for anglers who need more capacity and strength behind the fly line. Made from premium Dacron fibers, its tight 12-carrier round braid creates a smooth, consistent profile that packs evenly onto the reel and handles cleanly when a fish takes you into the backing.

The stretch-resistant construction, zero-twist handling, and reliable knot performance make Micron a versatile choice for both freshwater and saltwater fly reels. The 30 lb strength is well suited to larger freshwater setups, saltwater reels, and situations where you want additional backing strength without moving to a heavier specialty backing.

Available in White, Black, Pink, Orange, and Purple, with multiple spool lengths for individual reels or larger spooling needs.

Uptide Take

30 lb is the backing we'd reach for when the fish you're chasing might actually make use of it. Strong enough for larger freshwater and saltwater setups, while still packing cleanly onto the reel and handling the way good backing should.
