C16 excels in casting due to the silky smooth construction. Use it for topwater fishing Tuna, Surf Casting, or any application where you need a trusted, smooth braid.
We developed our hollow core braid with 16 carriers to give big game anglers the ultimate foundation for all kinds of splicing. Having 16 individual fibers creates an incredibly solid wall, that is easy to splice and saves time in preparation so you can spend more time on the water.
We recommend Daho splicing needles. They are easy to work with and have a needle for every type of splice.
I’ve been using this product for a very long time and I’m very happy with it, it’s the best on the market!
Cortland C16 is by far the best backing for fly fishing. The durability and abrasion resistance make it first choice for saltwater, jungle and volcanic rivers. Another unique quality is that it makes perfect blind splices and internal loops.
Yes it I spendy but so are $1000 rods and $100 flylines!
Great will purchase again
Love using #40 or #60 C-16 as backing for saltwater fish that go a long way.
Amazing line and easy to splice into for big fish!!!
I absolutely love the c16 200 lb hollow core braid. Since transitioning to Cortland about a year ago, I refuse to use anything else. Iv caught countless large fish using it and never once had a line failure. The quality is simply unmatched.
