Hatch Custom Saltwater Slam Iconic Reels

Description

We are happy to announce the 2023 Custom Saltwater Slam Reels are in stock and ready to order! These are Hatch's first-ever half-frame engraved reels! The Saltwater Slam Iconics have been specially anodized in fan-favorite turquoise blue and hand-painted with a complimentary teal paint for that true ocean blue look.

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.
