GTX Fly Reel

Nautilus Reels GTX

The Nautilus GTX is a true big-game reel built to go past traditional limits—designed to be fished beyond IGFA regulations and engineered to handle heavy terminal tackle with confidence. With 25+ pounds of maximum drag, the GTX is made to put serious brakes on the fastest, strongest fish on the planet.

At the core is Nautilus’ brand-new Pentadrag braking system: a multi-surface stack that blends cork’s smooth transition with carbon fiber’s market-leading smoothness, all kept consistent with a Kevlar/carbon hybrid precision plate that maintains even pressure across the drag. Add the all-new GripTorq drag knob—built for maximum grip—and you’ve got a reel that’s meant for absolute control when everything is on the line.
