hatch fly fishing reels

Short on history, but long in tradition and deep with passion! Hatch Fly Reels were born out a dream of making a fly fishing reel that has it all; lightweight, high quality machining and a drag system with tolerances previously thought unreachable. Through their mutual friend of Scotty Cameron, of golf fame, John Torok met and teamed with machine shop owner Andy Ashcraft to develop his dream into reality. The result is a series of reels machined to the highest quality, so much so you’ll wonder if you should be hanging them on the wall as art instead of fishing with them. But make no mistake, these reels are tough and are made for one thing, fly fishing! The Monsoon is a reel whose porting is stylish and cutting edge and, all the while,extremely strong. When you strap it onto your fly rod, you may think the whole thing is going to take off for the moon, but don’t worry, you’ll just ply the water with grace. The sealed Rulon/stainless steel disc drag is second to none and allows the angler power to stop tarpon and the lightness to protect 7X tippet. All this makes the Hatch Monsoon Fly Reels one for the books.
