The large arbor design of the Nautilus X fly reel allows for quick line retrieval and reduces line memory, which can improve your casting accuracy. The Nautilus X fly reel is versatile enough to be used in a variety of fly fishing situations. Whether you're fishing in saltwater or freshwater, the Nautilus X can handle the job. Nautilus is a well-respected brand in the fly fishing community, known for producing high-quality and reliable reels. Investing in a Nautilus X fly reel may give you peace of mind knowing that you're purchasing from a brand that is put to the test on species around the world!

The X-Series design has strong beams that extend from the center to a wide line guard. These angles allow for rear spool rim protection where the reel typically contacts the ground when the rod is leaned up against a wall or a car.

The totally new SCF-X drag is a sealed Teflon® and carbon fiber disc drag system. It is adjusted with a generous drag knob that offers superior gripping surface and texture for wet and cold fingers.

DESIGNED FOR LIGHTNESS, STRENGTH, SMOOTHNESS & SPEED

The highly ventilated arch design, coupled with the dual palming rim increases spool strength by 35 %. The sides of the frame leave the spool totally exposed, and the back spool rim has a generous 1/8″ secondary palming rim for added fish control. This heavy- duty secondary palming rim has the strength to withstand everyday wear and tear.

The spool is a new spin on our ultra light, award winning Giga arbor design. It is lighter than any spool of a similar size we have ever made.

Available in three frame sizes: XS – 3.25” Diameter, 3.8 oz, XM – 3.5” diameter, 4.1 oz,  and a 4” frame XL that will accept the standard XL Giga arbor spool for a 6/7 weight and the XL MAX Giga arbor spool that will fit an 8/9 weight line. At a mere 4.7 ounces the XL and XL MAX will handle your larger fresh water species and light salt water needs perfectly.

Available in brushed titanium or black anodizing.
