Description
The Hatch Iconic Splash Camo Fly Reel is the standard Iconic in Hatch's limited 2026 custom finish, a Blue Camo Splatter anodize with Light Blue paint fill. Underneath is the same one-piece, fully machined reel we trust from small trout streams to the flats, so only the look changes. Hatch made the Splash Camo Collection in limited quantities, and a size does not come back once it sells out.
Design
One Piece Reel Body - Hatch machines the reel seat into the frame as a single piece, so the seat cannot loosen from galvanic corrosion. The spool carries Hatch's six-fin window pattern. The drag sits inside the reel body instead of a separate cassette, which adds stability and cuts axial runout. The Iconic does not accept spools from earlier Hatch models.
Finish
Splatter Anodize - The Splash Camo run gets a Type II anodize in Blue Camo Splatter with a Light Blue paint fill. The splatter process is random, so no two reels look exactly the same, and the pattern on your reel will differ from the photos.
Materials
Barstock Machined Aluminum - Hatch machines the frame and spool from 6061 aluminum bar stock in Southern California. The result is a light reel that resists abrasion and corrosion in fresh and salt water.
Drag
Type - A carbon-filled drag built into the reel body. Hatch rates it the smoothest drag in its lineup, with the stopping power for anything from big brown trout to tarpon.
Materials - The carbon-filled drag material sheds heat quickly, so the drag stays smooth through long runs.
Arbor Size
Large and Mid Arbor - The 3+ and 4+ come in large arbor. The 5+, 7+ and 9+ come in large or mid arbor. The large arbor picks up line faster. The mid arbor holds more backing at the same size: the 7+ mid holds 340 yards behind a WF7F, against 260 yards on the 7+ large.
Warranty
Hatch Warranty - As of May 2021, Hatch covers manufacturer's defects in materials and craftsmanship for the life of the reel. Hatch repairs or replaces a defective reel, based on its own assessment, with no charge for parts and labor. The warranty does not cover misuse, accidents or modifications. Hatch charges a return shipping fee.
