Hatch Iconic Fly Reels

Hatch Fly Reels

The new Hatch Iconic is a superior saltwater reel and newly designed fish fighting tool, that will handle the toughest and largest game fish in the world, yet is delicate enough to protect the lightest tippet. With a newly designed, improved carbon-filled drag and sealed clutch system, machined reel foot, heavily ported spool and frame that facilitate faster line and backing drying, one piece spool nut, oversized ultra-adjustable drag knob, and redesigned handle and counter weight, we couldn’t be happier with this reel. The new supersized drag knob is fantastic for making quick drag adjustments in the heat of battle.

Just as with previous models, the new Hatch Iconic is fully machined from T-6061 bar stock aluminum. These reels are as tough and durable as any fly reel on the market. Hatch is the first and only reel manufacturer to machine the reel foot with the frame body in one piece, for extra rigidity and stability. The new sealed drag system is impervious to the elements and keeps out corrosive salt, dirt, and grime out of your reel, while providing buttery smooth, knock-out power. You simply won’t find a more capable or reliable saltwater reel than the new Hatch Iconic.
