The Hatch 7 Plus is a steelhead, bonefish, permit, or any other mid-sized monster lurking out there's worst nightmare. Capable of running 7 through 9 weight lines with ample backing capacity, you'll not find a better fish-fighting tool on the planet.Sealed Multi-Disc Drag Cassette
Combines Rulon® and stainless steel discs in order to apply even drag pressure and heat distribution over multiple surfaces rather than the typical 1-to-1 surface ratio found in most reels of the day. The combination creates a powerful and incredibly smooth drag system with near-zero start-up inertia or stick-slip problems. Throw in the fact that it's water resistant, maintenance free and self-lubricating and now we're talking nirvana
Machined Finish & Anodize
Why buff away quality machining others can't match? Hatch only polishes the places that come in contact with the line. The rest is left in its natural state. Then we hit it with Type II anodize for a durable finish that holds up in both fresh AND salt water. Cranks & Counterbalance
Hatch's crank and counterbalance are equal in weight thereby eliminating cavitations in high-speed runs usually caused by uneven weight distribution on the spool. Frame Thickness & Dimension
By adding dimension to the frame Hatch creates a backbone effect thereby increasing strength, durability, and teh virtual elimination of lateral flex. What you get is a rock solid reel that will withstand extreme abuse and keep on cranking for a lifetime. Reel Seat Machined into Frame
Based on a simple physics principle: A single solid is always stronger than two parts bound together. Also, by eliminating the screws, there's no worry about corrosion or the reel foot loosening. Ever. Made in the USA
Hatch threw this into the design highlights because we all feel that it is extremely important. They take great pride in how and where their reels are made. That's why all Hatch reels are made in their very own manufacturing facility in Visat, California.Diameter: 4.0" Spool Width: .9375" Weight: 8.0 oz. WF-7 & 220 yards 20# / 385 yards 30# Gel Spun WF-8 & 200 yards 20# / 350 yards 30# Gel Spun WF-9 & 180 yards 20# / 315 yards 30# Gel Spun Note: The only difference between Typhoon and Monsoon body styles is the porting in the frame. All parts are interchangeable between the two models. Hatch did this to give anglers a choice between a more aggressive and a traditional look.
