What is Hends Stretch Back?

Hends Stretch Back is a versatile fly-tying material primarily used to create realistic shellbacks on nymphs and a wide range of subsurface patterns. Its elasticity allows it to stretch smoothly over the body, closely following its shape while producing a clean, professional finish.

The material works exceptionally well with natural or synthetic dubbing, UV resin, Body Quill and other fly-tying materials. It is equally suitable for traditional fly patterns and modern competition nymphs where durability, realistic appearance and slim body profiles are essential.


Key Features

  • High elasticity for easy wrapping and shaping.
  • Creates realistic shellbacks and segmented bodies.
  • Fits tightly over the fly body.
  • Durable enough for repeated casting and multiple fish.
  • Works perfectly with UV resin and other tying materials.
  • Ideal for both traditional and modern nymph patterns.

Ideal For

  • Czech nymphs.
  • European nymphs.
  • Scuds.
  • Freshwater shrimp.
  • Shrimp patterns.
  • Chironomids.

FLYFISHING.BG RECOMMENDS

For the most realistic results, apply Hends Stretch Back over a natural or synthetic dubbing body and secure it with a thin coat of UV resin or quality varnish. This enhances body segmentation, increases durability and creates a natural three-dimensional appearance that holds up even after repeated use.
