Hatch Iconic 4 Plus Fly Reel

The Hatch 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, they were due for a style upgrade that can be seen in the shape of their drag knob - which brings depth - and their ‘H’ brand logo. They now use a bright dip finishing that brings out the shine of the machined parts while also keeping the strong coloring of matte anodize. The 4 plus model is featured here in the Black/Silver color. 

The 4+ bridges the gap in size and weight between the 3 and 5 plus models. If you’re looking for the perfect reel for your 9′ 5 weight rod then look no further. Proudly made in Southern California, USA.

* 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, they have reshaped the reel seat for a more contemporary look.
* 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- Their new carbon-filled drag material not only dissipates heat faster but also creates a smooth­er feel. This is their 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. They have ported the spool arbor which will allow lines to dry better on the reel after use - think of it as ventilation.
* NEW SPOOL NUT- New look, similar function, but with a big improve­ment. On the Iconic they have implemented a one piece design in order to prevent pieces from coming apart.
* NEW HANDLE/COUNTERWEIGHT- The new handle design significantly reduces the risk of galvanic corrosion. While we have retained the aluminum handle, it now has a softer look and feel.
