The Nautilus GTR is the new iteration of the legendary GTX and NVG range of Nautilus reels. The hallmark performance, aesthetics, and ergonomics of the GTX were seamlessly adapted into the new, smaller GT series reels. Each model incorporates the lessons and breakthroughs developed during the GTX’s evolution. One standout feature of the GT series is its tailored drag adjustment system. In the GTR, the internal drag configuration has a powerful spring and an extra washer for strength, and takes only a single turn to get from 0 to 12 pounds, plenty for all 8-11 weight fishing this setup is designed for, but if you want more you can have more. Just keep turning! These reels will take the punishment whether they are putting the breaks on Peacock Bass or Tigerfish in the fresh, to dropping anchor on saltwater flats species.
FEATURES:
- Lightweight construction for effortless handling
- Smooth and simple left-to-right hand conversion
- Expanded drag adjustment range for versatile performance
- Sleek, modern design
- Integrated backing markers machined into the spool for precise line filling removing the need to measure exact yardages
- A standard 24mm or 15/16” socket compatibility for easy removal of a stuck spool cap.
TECHNOLOGY:
- GTX Pentadrag- The Pentadrag braking system features three cork and carbon fiber surfaces and two free floating carbon fiber surfaces, which are 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 and overall smoothness that Nautilus Reels is known for
- Giga- The Uber arbors of fly fishing reels. Reel in more than a foot per turn of the handle. A unique design feature of these spools is grooves that let the bottom of the backing breathe to promote faster drying. The giga arbors have redefined large arbor reel design
- Activseal- Perpetually repels contaminants from braking system
- GripTorq- The GripTorq is an intricately machined proprietary 4 axis drag knob that promote light weight, strength and more grip than on any other drag knob in the industry. The GTX GripTorq drag knob measures 1.9″ in diameter and adjusts the drag from zero to max in 1 1/4 turn.
