Nautilus Reels - GTX Salt Water Reel

Winner of this YEAR’S 2017 ICAST/IFTD Best Saltwater Reel Award, the new Gtx from Nautilus is lightweight, and machined with their Giga spool design for strength, maximum line pickup, and fast line drying to prevent corrosion when stored. The brake is a brand new design and features a new pressure spring that is sandwiched between two aluminum discs that rotate in unison, which applies even pressure to the drag surfaces. The new dual drag surface features an oversized carbon fibre disc on one side and a cork/kevlar®/carbon fibre hybrid on the other. The cork acts as a compression material to ensure a smooth drag transition while the carbon fibre delivers the smoothness for which Nautilus is known. The new Kevlar® mid-layer provides additional rigidity to the drag surface, spreads the pressure more evenly, insulates any heat generated by friction, and dampens vibrations for a very smooth drag. The GTX “is built to put the brakes on the fastest and strongest fish on the planet”. One model available weighing 8.7 oz, with a max drag of 25 lb, having a 5” diameter reel that is 1.1” wide, and holds 500/60 braid. MSRP: $1,300. Available in Black or Silver. Nautilusreels.com
