NAUTILUS GT SERIES Fly Reel
In 2017 Nautilus introduced the GTX. A reel in a class of its own. Designed to be fished beyond IGFA regulations with a maximum drag of 25+ pounds, the GTX was built to put the brakes on the fastest and strongest fish on the planet. The plan was to make the biggest, lightest, strongest reel possible, test it in a tug of war against animals and the elements, tweak it to perfection and use it to design a series of more compact GTX reels that would replace our ever-popular NVG series.
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.

The GT series reel is incredibly light and easy to carry. I’ve used it on long trips in remote areas and it holds up well under heavy pulls. The drag system is responsive and reliable, even when fighting large trout and bass.
Leah Dowd –
Great balance between size and strength. It’s much more manageable than the older NVG models. The drag is smooth and doesn’t feel stiff during casting or reeling.

Fished in mountain streams and it performed excellently. The construction feels solid and the handle is comfortable for extended use. No issues with water resistance or durability.
