GEL-SPUN BACKING
Platypus P8 Premium Backing is SUPER STRONG & SLICK AUSTRALIAN MADE 8 CARRIER BRAID. Extra thin and round, P8 is a premium quality braid. Utilising 8 strand construction ensures P8 is one of the thinnest braids on the market. Round, smooth and supple, P8 will pack more evenly onto your reel.
Platypus P8 Premium Backing is stronger than steel. Computer monitored braiding achieves an ultra tight weave of 100% Ultra High Molecular Weight PE gelspun fibres in a eight carrier configuration. Eight carrier braids are the premium end of the braid spectrum, most Japanese braids are eight carrier.
8 Carrier construction is the best braid structure for any fishing situation or species, and they are rounder and thinner than regular 3 or 4 carrier braids, and do not flatten and take on water as 12 or 16 carriers do. Using three or four carriers produce a cheaper, but technologically inferior braid.
The breaking strain listed is a genuine figure, so the angler can make a more informed choice about this super important component in their setup.
Platypus P8 Premium Backing uses 100% Ultra High Molecular Weight PE fibres with engineered near zero stretch… and unlike fused gelspun lines, it has zero memory for better control.
Platypus P8 Premium Backing is available in 90 lb in 350m spools.
