Stealthy “Katchi Color” for Elite Presentation

The signature KATCHI Color, a traditional reddish-brown tone long used in fishermen’s nets, is faithfully reproduced in this nylon line. Its natural, subdued hue blends seamlessly into the stream environment, making it exceptionally hard for wary trout to detect—even trophy-class fish with sharp eyesight

Origin of the color:

It was favored by samurai as a “victory color,” associated with the character katsu (meaning “to win”). Because the color was produced by pounding (kachi) the dye, it also came to be known as kachiiro. In addition, it resonates with the English word “catch,” making it an auspicious term for anglers as well.
