The Nautilus GTX Fly Reel is in a class of its own. Designed to be fished beyond IGFA regulations, this reel is equipped to go head-to-head with your terminal tackle. With a maximum drag of 25+ pounds, the GTX is built to put the brakes on the fastest and strongest fish on the planet.
The GTX is a 5-inch diameter reel with a narrow 1.1-inch wide spool that holds 500 yards of 60-pound braid. The spool is lightweight and intricately machined with our Giga spool design to promote strength, maximum line pickup, and fast line drying to prevent corrosion when stored.
The GTX Pentadrag braking system is a brand new design best described as a hybrid NV-G/CCF-X2/X-Series drag on steroids. The new Pentadrag features three cork and carbon fiber surfaces and two free-floating carbon fiber surfaces topped with a Kevlar/carbon fiber hybrid precision plate that ensures even pressure at all points of the drag surfaces. The cork acts as an insulation and compression material to ensure a smooth drag transition, while the carbon fiber delivers the market-leading overall smoothness that Nautilus Reels is known for.
To control the drag tension, Nautilus designed the all-new GripTorq drag knob. Intricately machined on four axes to promote lightweight, strength, and more grip than any other drag knob in the industry. The GTX GripTorq drag knob measures 1.9 inches in diameter.
The Nautilus Reels GTX delivers 8.7 ounces of optimized fighting power at an MSRP of $1300.00 for the reel and $575.00 for the spool. Available in matte black or brushed titanium anodizing.
The Nautilus GTX made waves in the fly fishing world for being the first "production" reel to cross the $1000 barrier. Since then, there's probably been no reel that I've wanted to get on the testing machine more. When you pick it up, you can tell right away that it's an awesome big-game reel. It's big, narrow, and has tons of drag. It's no wonder that it finished in a 3-way TIE for first place. Read on to see why.
