The NEW FINATIC reel is here. Once again Hatch changes gears and surprises everyone with the launch of the new FINATIC reel design.
The benefits of the new design are many: 6 to 15% lighter weight in all models and a new fin like design in the porting of the frame and spools, a new contoured spool, recessed counterweight, see through reel foot porting and improved hook keeper slot in the frame. . But perhaps the most important factor is that the new reels are 100% backwards compatible with previous models.
In addition to the design changes Hatch has released the 1 Plus. The new 1 Plus reel is almost 3” in diameter and weighs in at a mere 2.8 oz. The reel incorporates the same multi-disk drag system as its big brother counterparts and is certain to be a hit with anyone who fishes with a 0-3 weight rod. The reel comes in a mid arbor configuration only.
All Finatic Reels are available with spool centers in red, blue, green, black or natural as shown in the picture above.
