Nautilus GTR Fly reel

When you're chasing apex predators and need a reel that can stand up to the task–from the initial run, through the entirety of the battle, and into the finish line–Nautilius’ all-new GTR Reel is just the right choice. A fresh series of reels from Nautilus, the GTR cranks a whopping 12 pounds of drag and boasts the top-shelf build and componentry that Nautilus is known for. A machined aluminum build meets a fully-sealed ceramic drag that’s as smooth as it is powerful, while a large arbor combines with an ergonomic drag knob and handle. This careful manufacturing provides zero startup inertia and ensures that your battles are smooth and that you always have the upper hand. Nautilus makes their GTR Reels in an 8/9 and 10/11 weight option, providing you the stopping power and performance that you need.

Design
Lightweight Design w/ Large Arbor - Nautilus is known for making reels that have top-notch performance, and their GTR is no exception. Starting with a large arbor build, this reel picks up line quickly so you can keep up with any tough fish. From there, Nautilus includes a wide range of drag adjustments, allowing you to fine-tune things when in the heat of the battle. The GTR is then finished with ergonomic features like a clean, user-friendly drag knob and easy spool release for those times when you need to make a quick line adjustment to meet the demands of the environment. 

Finish
Brushed Anodizing - Nautilus finished the GTR Reels with a brushed anodization, giving it a look that never goes out of style. This finish brings great durability while reducing glare, and whether you prefer the subtle black finish or the brushed silver, they’ve got you covered. 

Materials
High-Quality Machined Aluminum - The GTR is made from high-quality aluminum. This aluminum design couples with well-designed porting to bring you a reel that’s ultra-light in hand without sacrificing durability or performance. This quality aluminum also stands up to harsh environments and prevents corrosion regardless of how long you’ve been in the salt. 

Drag
Sealed Disc Drag - When it comes to Nautilus, a powerful drag is often synonymous with everything that they build–the GTR lives up to this, allowing you to pursue the toughest fish in the ocean with confidence. Made with advanced hybrid ceramic bearings, the drag is as smooth as it gets, while a fully-sealed design prevents saltwater and other adulterants from getting in. Clean and easy adjustment across a wide range of drag pressure that tops out at 12lbs, the GTR makes long battles as easy as it gets. 

Arbor Size
Large Arbor - Nautilus builds their GTR series with a large arbor. This design ensures that you’re never cranking your arm off to keep up with a fish that put you into your backing before you could blink, while a narrow profile prevents your line from stacking over itself in a way that’s sure to be a problem the next time a fish shows you your backing.
