The Jokester Iconics have been specially anodized in a striking purple and green combo and hand-painted with a complimentary white paint. This run is available in sizes 3+, 4+. 5+, 7+, & 9+ in large arbor only.

4+

The 4+ bridges the gap in size and weight between the 3 and 5 plus models. If youre looking for the perfect reel for your 9 5 weight rod then look no further.

5+Weve 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.

7+If I was stranded on a desert island and had only one reel to bring, it would be the 7+. We have sold more of these bad boys than any other size in the Hatch line up. From bonefish to permit, steelhead to carp, this reel has you covered.
9+Where the rubber meets the road my friends! If youve been dreaming of a reel that has the look, feel and performance of a Ferrari, then look no further. Capable of running 911 weight lines, and your choice of mid or large arbor spools, this reel is one versatile hombre.

Specs for 7+ below:

NEW LOOK: The Iconic Reel retains the now IconicHatch 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.

MACHINED REEL SEAT: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.

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

NEW DRAG MATERIAL: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.

NEW SPOOL DESIGN:In many ways, the Iconic spool is similar to previous models, but with a few key differences. We have ported the spool arbor which will allow lines to dry better on the reel after use – think of it as ventilation. We have also cut aesthetic holes into the Mid Arbor spools, making it much simpler than before to distinguish between a large and mid arbor.

NEW SPOOL NUT:New look, similar function, but with a big improvement. On the Iconic we have implemented a one piece design in order to prevent pieces from coming apart.

NEW HANDLE / COUNTER WEIGHT:Our 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.
