Woodstock Squid Troll Line Green 18lb 1000yd Braided Nylon Backing for Saltwater Anglers

Woodstock Squid/Troll Line Green 18lb 1000yd is a purpose-built backing thread crafted from high-quality braided nylon. Designed for serious saltwater anglers, this line provides a stable, durable foundation for trolling and harling setups, so you can spool your main line with confidence and fish longer without interruptions.

- Soft braided construction that feeds smoothly off the spool, reducing resistance and memory when you’re paying out and retrieving line.
- Heat-set and waterproofed treatment extends life by minimizing stretch, absorbing less water, and standing up to repeated exposure in challenging marine environments.
- Shipped directly from local suppliers to ensure steady availability for anglers who need dependable backing without fuss.
- Trusted Woodstock backing used on Kilwell trolling and harling reels, engineered to provide a solid, consistent foundation in demanding fishing scenarios. Why this backing matters for your setup

Backing is the quiet workhorse of any trolling or harling rig. Woodstock Squid/Troll Line Green 18lb 1000yd creates a stable base that fills reels well, reduces twist, and helps you maximize your main line capacity. In practical terms, you’ll experience smoother line release, more even line lay on the spool, and less need for constant adjustments during long runs offshore.

Ideal for: boat anglers who troll for target species in saltwater, harling enthusiasts who prize steady line performance, and anyone who relies on a robust backing to support heavier main lines on mid-to-long trolling sessions.

Compared to using lighter or standard mono backings, this Woodstock braided nylon backing offers a balanced blend of suppleness, strength, and water resistance. It provides a reliable foundation that translates to more consistent depths, smoother take-ups, and greater reel capacity—so you can focus on the bite, not on line management.

Practical tips—keep your spool organized and ready: store in a cool, dry place away from direct sun when not in use, rinse with fresh water after saltwater fishing to extend life, and ensure you load the backing evenly to prevent spool gaps that could cause line digging in the reel. For best results, pair this backing with a compatible main line and appropriate knots, and follow your gear manufacturer’s recommendations for spool tension and braid-to-miller connections.
