Art in Motion — Hatch Iconic Plus Limited Edition Matt Renner Collaboration | 5+ Large Arbor

A fusion of craftsmanship, creativity, and culture—the Hatch Iconic Plus Limited Edition Matt Renner Collaboration celebrates the meeting of fine art and fly fishing excellence. Inspired by the flowing lines of water and the rhythm of the cast, this reel captures the soul of angling through the eyes of tattoo artist Matt Renner, whose roots in Colorado and love for fly fishing shaped the design. The deep olive frame paired with bright yellow accents reflects both the boldness of Renner’s style and the vivid life of the rivers he fishes. Adorned with stonefly motifs and Japanese-inspired rock patterns, this is more than a reel—it’s a collector’s statement of precision and passion.

• Whats New with the Iconic

• NEW LOOK: The Iconic Reel retains the now ‘Iconic’ Hatch window pattern with 6 fins, recalling the original Finatic model. Instantlyidentifiable and classic, the Hatch look is simply Iconic. However,we were due for a style upgrade that can be seen in the shape ofour drag knob - which brings depth - and our ‘H’ brand logo. Wenow use a bright dip finishing that brings out the shine of the machinedparts while also keeping the strong coloring of matte anodize.

  MACHINED REEL SEAT: We were the first and now one of the only reel manufacturers to make the reel body out of one piece. It is an expensiveway to produce the reel but has the advantage of never having areel seat loosen up due to galvanic corrosion. For the Iconic, we havereshaped the reel seat for a more contemporary look.

  NEW HANDLE/COUNTERWEIGHT: Our new handle design significantly reduces the risk of galvanic corrosion. While we have retained the aluminum handle, it now has a softer look and feel.

  NEW SPOOL NUT: New look, similar function, but with a big improvement. On the Iconic we have implemented a one piece design in orderto prevent pieces from coming apart.

  NEW SPOOL DESIGN: In many ways, the Iconic spool is similar to previous models, but with a few key differences. We have ported the spoolarbor which will allow lines to dry better on the reel after use - thinkof it as ventilation. We have also cut aesthetic holes into the Mid Arborspools, making it much simpler than before to distinguish between alarge and mid arbor.

  IMPROVED SEALING: Through better design and concentricity, we have 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: Our new carbon-filled drag material not only dissipates heat faster but also creates a smoother feel. This is our smoothest drag system to date.
