    You are better off buying a high quality Spectra product (if you are looking for low diameter high strength) as it will last longer and hold up better. Both PowerPro and Western Filament (Tuf-Line) make good lines that are great for backing.

    I use Fireline I had from my hard tackle days. It works just fine and with a smaller diameter, I can get more on.
