I bought an Orvis Mid Arborh V mid arbor reel and need to put backing on it. Its a 10 wt. reel and holds 125 yds of 20 lb. dacron, or about 250 yds gel spun or h i capacity gel spun.

I want the extra capacity, but am interested in opinions of the gel spun. Does it do damage to the guides being so thin and more importantly, does it wrap around itself on the spool when not being used?

Anyone have any opions about the gel spun?
