Hatch created a backing material that has the touch and feel of Dacron combined with the strength and diameter of Gel Spun in a single 8 braid PE line for use in all fly fishing applications.

Why only one size backing?

The diameter of Hatch backing is equal to or less than competitors’ products. When you look at the lb/kg ratings you’ll notice right away that Hatch material is stronger than everyone else’s for the diameter. The diameter of the line determines how much backing builds up on the arbor of a reel, not the pound rating. So, a single diameter line can be used effectively in all fly-fishing applications – fresh or saltwater.

Backing color availability is variable. If you have a color preference, please contact the shop to see what is in stock.
