HATCH REELS

The Iconic Reel retains the now ‘Iconic’Hatch window pattern with 6 fins, recalling the original Finatic model. Instantly identifiable and classic, the Hatch look is simply Iconic. However, we were due for a style upgrade that can be seen in the shape of our drag knob – which brings depth – and our ‘H’ brand logo. We now use a bright dip finishing that brings out the shine of the machined parts while also keeping the strong coloring of matte anodize.

We were 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, we have reshaped the reel seat for a more contemporary look.

Through better design and concentricity, we have increased sealing by eliminating water entry points through subtracting superfluous components from past models.

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.

Our new carbon-filled drag material not only dissipates heat faster but also creates a smooth­er feel. This is our smoothest drag system to date.
