Outdoors is a relatively new company. Started in 2003, Hatch was born from a trip to the Eastern Sierras. Years later, Hatch continues to make award-winning fly reels. Their first generation of reels was well-received by the industry. Time, engineering, research, and innovation have propelled Hatch to the top of the fly fishing reel industry. Today, Hatch also makes pliers, apparel, and other high-quality fishing tools.

When Hatch Outdoors created a high-end fly reel without a cork drag, people thought they were crazy. Today, it seems like they were geniuses. Hatch reels were created to be completely uncompromising in quality. Every reel is made with immaculate attention to detail. Hatch reels are also insanely durable, ruggedly practical, and pretty much bombproof on the water. All reels are coated by a finish that is made to stand up in the toughest conditions – saltwater or freshwater
