Hatch Outdoors was founded in 2003 with the intention of developing a fly reel that would raise the bar for all manufacturers. Over the years, Hatch has pushed the boundaries of innovation with the development of award-winning products such as the Hatch reels, as well as the famous Nomad tongs, and continues to push boundaries today. Hatch Outdoors is a family-owned and operated company that uses only the highest quality materials and state-of-the-art machining techniques in the production of its iconic fly fishing reels. Impressive and well-known is certainly the reel foot made from one piece, which made so some fly fishermen Hatch Finatic.
