Instantly </span><span style="font-style: normal;">identifiable and classic, the Hatch look is simply Iconic. However, </span><span style="font-style: normal;">we were due for a style upgrade that can be seen in the shape of </span><span style="font-style: normal;">our drag knob - which brings depth - and our ‘H’ brand logo. We </span><span style="font-style: normal;">now use a bright dip finishing that brings out the shine of the machined </span><span style="font-style: normal;">parts while also keeping the strong coloring of matte anodize.</span></p> <p><strong>MACHINED REEL SEAT:</strong> We were the first and now one of the only reel <span style="font-style: normal;">manufacturers to make the reel body out of one piece. It is an expensive </span><span style="font-style: normal;">way to produce the reel but has the advantage of never having a </span><span style="font-style: normal;">reel seat loosen up due to galvanic corrosion. For the Iconic, we have </span><span style="font-style: normal;">reshaped the reel seat for a more contemporary look.</span></p> <p><strong>NEW HANDLE/COUNTERWEIGHT:</strong> Our new handle design significantly reduces the risk of galvanic corrosion. While we <span style="font-style: normal;">have retained the aluminum handle, it now has a softer look and feel.</span></p> <p><strong>NEW SPOOL NUT:</strong> New look, similar function, but with a big improvement. <span style="font-style: normal;">On the Iconic we have implemented a one piece design in order </span><span style="font-style: normal;">to prevent pieces from coming apart.</span></p> <p><strong>NEW SPOOL DESIGN:</strong> In many ways, the Iconic spool is similar to previous <span style="font-style: normal;">models, but with a few key differences. We have ported the spool </span><span style="font-style: normal;">arbor which will allow lines to dry better on the reel after use - think </span><span style="font-style: normal;">of it as ventilation. We have also cut aesthetic holes into the Mid Arbor </span><span style="font-style: normal;">spools, making it much simpler than before to distinguish between a </span><span style="font-style: normal;">large and mid arbor.</span></p> <p><strong>IMPROVED SEALING:</strong> Through better design and concentricity, we have increased sealing by eliminating water entry <span style="font-style: normal;">points through subtracting superfluous components from past models.</span></p> <p><strong>IMPROVED STABILITY:</strong> The Iconic reel does not utilize a cassette to house the drag system as in past models - instead, <span style="font-style: normal;">it is now built into the body. This has decreased axial runout which creates a more stable and solid design.</span></p> <p><strong>NEW DRAG MATERIAL:</strong> Our new carbon-filled drag material not only dissipates heat faster but also creates a smoother <span style="font-style: normal;">feel. This is our smoothest drag system to date.</span></p> </div> </li> </ul>
