HATCH ICONIC REEL 9 PLUS

Step into world-class aesthetics and raw, uncompromised performance with the Hatch Iconic 9 Plus Fly Reel, available now at the Ugly Bug Fly Shop! Frequently dubbed the "Ferrari" of the fly fishing world due to its incredibly sleek hand-feel and lightning-fast line response, this versatile powerhouse is the ultimate choice for heavy-duty 9-weight, 10-weight, and 11-weight setups. Expertly engineered to tackle the most demanding saltwater environments, it is the premier weapon for stalking technical permit on the flats, battling stripers in heavy surf, or slowing down hard-running, medium-sized tarpon. Proudly precision-machined and hand-assembled in Southern California, USA, the 9 Plus boasts a premium Type II Anodized finish for bulletproof defense against salt, sand, and river grit. Featuring an elite, completely sealed disc drag system with zero start-up inertia, it effortlessly tames blistering, high-speed runs. Arriving complete with a custom protective pouch and a specialized Iconic cap wrench, this reel stands as a magnificent, precision instrument built for lifetime durability.

While an ultra-premium 9-to-11 weight reel like the Hatch Iconic 9 Plus is built to dominate ocean flats, it is an essential piece of destination gear for Casper anglers prepping for bucket-list trips to the saltwater. Before you leave Wyoming to chase permit or baby tarpon, bring your 9 Plus down to our brick-and-mortar storefront downtown. Our shop staff will perfectly load it with 300 yards of Hatch premium backing and line it up with a specialized RIO or Scientific Anglers saltwater fly line. Having this level of elite, luxury-tier stopping power fully dialed in before you step onto a flats skiff ensures that when a world-class fish explodes on your fly, your drag system will respond with flawless mechanical precision.
