HATCH ICONIC SERIES FLY REELS – The newly revamped and improved Hatch Iconic Reels have arrived with a sexy Iconic look, improved construction and their smoothest drag system ever.
MACHINED REEL SEAT: Hatch was the first and now one of the only reel manufacturers to make the reel body out of one piece. It is an expensive way to produce the reel but has the advantage of never having a reel seat loosen up due to galvanic corrosion. For the Iconic, Hatch have reshaped the reel seat for a more contemporary look.
NEW HANDLE/COUNTERWEIGHT: New handle design significantly reduces the risk of galvanic corrosion. The aluminum handle now has a softer look and feel.
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.
NEW SPOOL DESIGN: In many ways, the Iconic spool is similar to previous models, but with a few key differences. New ported spool arbor allows lines to dry better on the reel after use - think of it as ventilation. They also cut aesthetic holes into the Mid Arbor spools, making it much simpler than before to distinguish between a large and mid arbor.
IMPROVED SEALING: Through better design and concentricity, they have increased sealing by eliminating water entry points through subtracting superfluous components from past models.
IMPROVED STABILITY: The Iconic reel does 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: Our new carbon-filled drag material not only dissipates heat faster but also creates a smoother feel. This is Hatch’s’ smoothest drag system to date.
