We call this bad boy the “do it all” reel. We’ve used the workhorse Finatic 5+ Mid Arbor Fly Reel while surf fishing in So Cal, light steelheading in Oregon, hucking nasty
streamers to ravenous browns in Montana, and stalking bones on the flats
in Belize. The Finatic 5+ Mid Arbor is designed for running 5 through 7 line weights.

Hatch Fly Fishing Reels
Short on history, but long on tradition and deep with passion! Hatch Fly
Fishing Reels were born out a dream of making a fly fishing reel that
has it all; lightweight material, high quality machining, and a drag
system with tolerances previously thought unreachable.
A Hatch is more than a fly fishing reel. It's an experience. From its
unique features to the precision machining, a Hatch fly fishing reel
oozes quality. Hatch Fly Fishing Reels were made to last a lifetime, and
then some. It's our commitment to our customers that we will keep
inspiring you with innovative new products now and in the future.
Hatch on Hatch Fly Fishing Reel Design Features
Hatch Fly Fishing Reels take a completely different approach on drag by
incorporating a stacked disc drag. The discs are made up of a
combination of stainless steel and Rulon®, and positioned in a stacked
configuration. The benefits of Hatch's stacked disc drag system and
increased braking surface area include a smoother, more durable drag on
your fly fishing reel. The stacked disc drag system on Hatch Fly Fishing
Reels require virtually no start up inertia, no lubrication, and no
maintenance.
Hatch on Hatch Fly Reels
In the beginning, we had some pretty far-out ideas about our Hatch fly
fishing reels. So much so, that our creativity far exceeded the
boundaries of machine capability. We tweaked, tortured, and twisted all
varieties of metal and configurations until Hatch came up with the fly
fishing reels you see today. The culmination of which has far exceeded
Hatch Fly Reels' expectations and those of Hatch's dealers and
customers.
Hatch was created for the hardcore fly fishing enthusiast and
recreational angler alike. Hatch is dedicated to pioneers and pirates.
Hatch is a brand whose sole focus is on providing the most stylish, high
performance fly fishing reels on the market today. And we at Hatch
think that’s just what we’ve done.
