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.
Proudly made in Southern California, USA.
Each Iconic Reel comes with Reel Pouch and Iconic Cap Wrench.
Not compatible with previous model spools. Anodize color may vary.

If Jesus materialized into a fly fishing reel, the Hatch 7+ would be him.

This reel looks beautiful on a custom Sage switch rod that was custom built for the Jefferson river in MT. We don’t use this set up a ton but on the ranch when the big boys are eating streamers on the swing, this reel is a must have for picking up large amounts of line quickly after long down river runs.

I landed a 25# dorado in Mexico on the Iconic 7+. I’ve used alot of reels. I think hatch are the best, hands down.

Thank you for making an outstanding fly reel for the salt. The 7 Plus does everything a top level reel should do: the drag is excellent, the retrieve is smooth and efficient, it's very durable and reliable, it's easy to maintain, and it looks really nice too. This is a reel to last a lifetime.

So far this reel has been bullet proof. I am tough on my equipment and the drag system is yet to skip a beat. Wading after permit I dunked this reel multiple times a day in the salt for nearly two weeks and never had any issues. Flawless performance every time. My other reels did not stand up to the same abuse in the saltwater.

My fist Hatch reel, the Iconic 7+, was purchased this year for a striper trip off the coast of Maine and wow, I was not disappointed. It performed flawlessly. The 7+ marries up perfectly with my 9 weight rod and the drag made it easy to control from light to heavy. I own a number of reels for rods from 4 to 9 weight and this Hatch is the best. Thank you Hatch for making such a great reel.

I was fortunate enough to receive this reel right before a trip down to Florida to target redfish, small tarpon, snook, and other tropical species both sight and surf fishing along the Atlantic coast. The 7+ iconic reel is a solid quality built machine. The improved drag system has enough adjustment to be able to set your drag to the ideal strength and stop fish in their tracks without tiring them to death. Extremely smooth retrieval and holds plenty of backing. I have not once been afraid of losing a fish with this reel because of the fantastic start up inertia and improved drag. On top of all of that with a world class warranty I will never buy another reel from another company. Looking forward to chasing stripers soon from Jersey to Montauk and up in Martha’s Vineyard. Extremely impressive reel!

Without a doubt, the perfect reel to handle an explosive Hawaiian Bonefish. Into your backing in seconds! Never once has the reel let me down. Thank you for what I needed to handle these bones!

Ordered my Black Iconic Plus 7 the day they were made available to guides. I was able to immediately put it to the test on medium sized striped bass, and the poor fish didn't have a chance. The real test was on Great Lakes steelhead, browns, and salmon. The smooth startup and drag adjustments handled these monsters with ease. My only concern was what the finish was going to look like after hammering the Iconic off of rocks for a week straight. I couldn't believe when I finally wiped it down at the end of the trip and there wasn't a single scratch. Bombproof! Now I just need more spools. Oh yeah, the Hatch customer service team rocks.

I am a fishing guide and bought these to use in the salt chasing stripers and these reels are freakin' bomb proof. They are able to handle everything the fish and the sea throw at them with ease. The precision of the drag and the reel's mechanics are still flawless as we close in on the end of the season. I am in love with these reels and am making a full switch to Hatch for all of my fly reels from trout to stripers to steelhead. #hatchreelsalltheway

I just received my new reel today and am aching to get out and try it! Absolutely love the look of it and will report back on performance which I fully expect to be fantastic!

Got to put my new Iconic reel into action the day after I received it. Hooked and landed several nice 7-8 lb Molokai Bonefish. Drag does seem smoother than the older Finatic reel which I’m still using as well. Good job Hatch Outdoors…
