The new Hatch Iconic fly fishing reels are made in the USA, full machined fly reels capable of performing in any fly fishing conditions. Keeping true to the Hatch aesthetic and calling back to the Finatic family of fly reels, these new Iconic models are powered by a new drag system that is smoother and more securely sealed than any Hatch reel ever.
Improved Sealing
Achieved through better design and concentricity, Hatch increased sealing by eliminating water entry points through subtracting superfluous components from past models.
Improved Stability
Iconic fly reels do not utilize a cassette to house the drag system as in past models – instead, it is now built into the body. This has decreased axial runout which creates a more stable and solid design.
New Drag Material
Hatch Iconic fly reels feature a new carbon-filled drag material that not only dissipates heat faster but also creates a smoother feel. This is Hatch’s smoothest drag system to date.
New Spool Design
In many ways, the Iconic spool is similar to previous models, but with a few key differences. Hatch Iconic fly reels have ported spool arbors which will allow lines to dry better on the reel after use – think of it as ventilation. Hatch has also cut aesthetic holes into the Mid Arbor spools, making it much simpler than before to distinguish between a large and mid arbor.
New Spool Nut
New look, similar function, but with a big improvement. On the Iconic Hatch has implemented a one piece design in order to prevent pieces from coming apart.
