*Backing pictured in the photo above says "White" on the label and we are aware of this, but it is the only standard product image provided by SA. There is no Blue offered in 50lb for this one, just use the normal SA Gel Spun called "XTS" which works great. This new backing is only offered in red or white for 50lb. Blue is available in a different backing (also new) which is hollow-core for splicing purposes. If you don't know what that is, you probably don't need it so don't worry about it.
