Hatch Iconic Custom Fly Reel - Gargoyle Green

Description

The new Gargoyle Collection features reels and tools in a special "Gargoyle" Green anodize with bone white paint fill! This run is available in most Iconic sizes and arbors in limited quantities. 

We’ve used this workhorse surf fishing in So Cal, light steelheading in Oregon, chucking nasty streamers to ravenous browns in Montana, and stalking bones on the flats in Belize.

There’s nothing like a Hatch Reel – they last forever, stand up to years of neglect, and feature the best drag out there. When people ask why they should buy a Hatch, the response is typically “Why Wouldn’t You Buy a Hatch?” We stock Hatch Reels in the Large Arbor configuration as it's the lightest and most popular version of their reels. We are happy to special order any colors/size combinations that we don't typically stock, as well as Mid-Arbor options.

The new Hatch Iconic retains much of the styling long associated with the brand, yet is packed with new innovations and design, resulting in another timeless classic that will quickly become everyone’s favorite Hatch Reel. 

Features

• New Look - 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, the reels were due for a style upgrade that can be seen in the shape of the drag knob - which brings depth - and the ‘H’ brand logo. Hatch now use a bright dip finishing that brings out the shine of the machined parts while also keeping the strong coloring of matte anodize. 

• Reel Seat - 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 reshaped the reel seat for a more contemporary look.

• New Seals - Through better design and concentricity, Hatch 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 - A new carbon-filled drag material not only dissipates heat faster but also creates a smooth­er feel. This is the smoothest Hatch drag system to date.

• New Spool Design – A newly ported spool arbor allows lines to dry better on the reel after use - think of it as ventilation

• Hew Handle - The new handle design significantly reduces the risk of galvanic corrosion. While Hatch retained the aluminum handle, it now has a softer look and feel.
