Whether battling in the waters of Patagonia, Bolivia or the Florida Keys, the Hatch 7 Plus is the one reel you want with you. A change of clothes may be the second, as the fight this reel slams back at any fish will take you on a monster ride. From steelhead to bonefish the Hatch 7 Plus takes you there with a new mid arbor spool for more backing in the salt or light spey and large arbor interchangeability.

The Hatch 7 Plus is ideal for everything from bonefish in the saltwater flats, stripers in the choppy surf of the Northwestern coast line, Great Lakes’ steelhead to the spectacular South American Golden Dorado. 7 Plus’ solid, single piece anodized aluminum frame with easy to remove spool make this reel a must-have for trips into your own backyard or the far and wild for its indestructibility and simple, smart design. The bombproof Hatch 7 Plus features a single reel seat-to-frame construction and its spool release knob is press-fit into the reel body – no loose parts to worry about.

What lifts Hatch head and shoulders above the rest of the school is their unique sealed and maintenance free drag system. Their multi-stacked combination stainless steel and Rulan disk construction creates the smoothest, lowest startup inertia system with superior heat distribution. The 7 Plus uses eight drag surfaces for silky smooth, ultra-balanced high speed runs and extreme ease of use for salt or fresh water with only a quick rinse in between.
