Fly Reels
We have been fishing Hatch fly reels for a number of years and are extremely passionate about the brand. If quality and performance matter to you, then you will fish with Hatch reels as well!
All Hatch reels are delivered freight FREE within Australia
Discontinued by Hatch, the 1+ will not be available any more, so this is you last chance to own one.
We’re talking small. You might even use one of these as a key chain. Hatch had never considered a reel of this size since they very rarely fish with 0–2 weight rods. However, their minds changed when they had so many requests.
For all you twig fishermen who love the little stuff, this one’s for you.

Hatch 7+ Finatic Gen II Fly Reel
The 7+ is just amazing. It is a fantastic crossover reel for both fresh and saltwater fly fishing. If you are looking for THE perfect Bonefish reel - this is it! The 7+ has loads of backing capacity, and we have found that the large arbour provides super fast line retrieval, and the drag system happily coped with BIG Bonefish all day long, day after day.
Too many people skimp on the reel for Bonefish and pay the ultimate price - a dead reel with a blown up drag system! The 7+ is the reel that won't let you down.

Hatch 11+ Finatic Gen II Fly Reel
Hatch had one thing in mind when they designed this reel — Tarpon.
The goal was to create a larger reel that bridged the gap between the 9 and 12 Plus models. Hatch also wanted to make sure it had an oversized handle for greater grip control when fighting those big silver critters.

Hatch Nipper
The Hatch Nipper is crafted from 6061T6 aluminum and protected with type II Anodize. The cutters are made from Tungsten Carbide for abrasion resistance and reliable cuts through all fishing line material.

NEW MIST FINISH For 2018 Hatch are incorporating a mist finish on their entire line up of reels. Misting creates smoother edges and provides for a more consistent non-reflective finish throughout. Plus it looks pretty damn cool! |
|
NEW CRANKS & COUNTERBALANCE The Gen 2 Finatic incorporates an Ultraflon sleeve that covers the aluminum shaft and separates it from the aluminum crank handle. By doing this we’ve eliminated the chance for galvanic corrosion, so your crank will spin effortlessly for years to come. |
|
|
NEW FRAME FEATURES You might have noticed from the photos Hatch have gone from 7 windows in the Gen 1 Finatic to 9 windows in the Gen 2. What you probably didn’t notice is that they've created a concave surface inside of the frame as well. By adding two extra arms in the frame it allows us to eliminate unnecessary weight through this feature, thereby making the reel lighter without sacrificing any strength. |
|
NEW LIP SEALS + BEARINGS Over the past few years we’ve seen some big changes in fly fishing. Specifically, the amount of time anglers spend in the water in pursuit of fish. It’s an exciting time for sure, and it’s forced Hatch to reimagine how their reels are sealed in extreme environments. For 2018 Hatch have added lip seals and sealed bearings to all their reels as a one two punch to protect against the elements and add a whole new level of water protection. |

FRAME SPOOL CONNECTION Creating a bomb proof frame to spool connection is essential for maintaining strength, and true-spin consistency. |
|
MACHINED REEL SEAT It’s Hatch's signature and they are sticking to it. A solid is always stronger than two parts attached by screws. By doing this it eliminates the common problem of screws rotting from corrosion and becoming loose. |

|
MULTI-DISC DRAG A cassette comprised of Rulon® and precision stamped stainless steel discs is employed in all models. With multi-disc drag, you are applying breaking pressure and heat dispersion over several surfaces, virtually eliminating start up inertia and stick slip problems. |
