Nautilus GT Series Reel: Redefining Strength and Performance in Fly Fishing

Step into the world of high-performance fly fishing with the Nautilus GTX Reel, a revolutionary piece of equipment introduced in 2017. Designed for anglers who demand excellence, the GTX Reel is engineered to challenge the limits with a maximum drag capability of 25+ pounds, making it ideal for battling the ocean's most formidable creatures. This reel was conceptualized to be the largest, lightest, and strongest in its class, undergoing rigorous testing against both wildlife and harsh environmental conditions to refine its design.

Following the GTX's success, its innovations were integrated into the smaller GT series reels, each model benefiting from the technological advancements and design philosophy developed during the GTX's evolution.

Features:

Pentadrag Braking System: Incorporates three cork and carbon fiber surfaces with two free-floating carbon fiber surfaces, topped with a Kevlar®/carbon fiber hybrid precision plate for uniform pressure across drag surfaces. This system ensures a smooth transition in drag application, with the cork providing insulation and compression, while the carbon fiber maintains the reel's reputation for leading smoothness.

Giga Arbor Design: Offers an expansive arbor size, allowing anglers to retrieve over a foot of line per handle turn. The design includes grooves that enhance airflow to the backing, promoting quicker drying. This feature has set a new standard in large arbor reel design.

Activseal Technology: A proprietary seal that continuously repels contaminants, ensuring the braking system remains clean and efficient.

GripTorq System: Features a uniquely machined 4-axis drag knob that combines lightweight construction with exceptional grip and durability. The GTX's GripTorq knob, spanning 1.9 inches in diameter, allows for precise drag adjustments from zero to maximum in just 1 1/4 turn.

Hooker: Wrap your line or hang your fly on it (*optional accessory)

Drag Adjustment Innovations: The GTX introduced a single-turn drag system for broad adjustability. The GTS model, tailored for lighter line classes (5 to 8), offers a dual-turn system for more nuanced control, with the first turn optimized for 5 and 6 weights and the second for 7 and 8 weights

With the Nautilus GTX Reel, anglers are not just equipped; they're empowered with a tool that transforms the fishing experience. Whether you're facing off against the mightiest of fish or navigating challenging waters, the GTX and its GT series derivatives stand as pillars of strength, precision, and innovation in the world of fly fishing. Prepare for your next adventure with confidence, knowing you have the best in reel technology at your fingertips.
