Description

Nautilus X Reel

The Nautilus X-Series is an open-frame reel designed for lightness, strength, drag smoothness, and fast line pick up. 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 TeflonĀ® 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, smoothness, and 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 1/8ā€³ 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 ā€“ 3.25ā€ Diameter, 3.8 oz, XM ā€“ 3.5ā€ diameter, 4.1 oz, Ā and a 4ā€ 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.

Technology

ActivSeal:Ā The Nautilus ActivSealTM is a precision machined proprietary seal thatā€™s featured in all our CCF-X2 and NV series reels. The ActivSeal actively repels water, sand, salt and any other contaminant to keep the braking system intact and consistent. Whether great lakes steelheading in 20-degree weather or on a Seychelles flat in 100-degree tropical torture, ActivSeal technology keeps your reel functioning at the highest level, despite the elements. Dunk it and batter it with sand, then go back to fishing. Only Nautilus Reels!

The totally new SCF-X drag is a sealed TeflonĀ® 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.

Our precision engineered thermoplasticĀ TPXĀ bushings are feather light, self-lubricating, inert (no corrosion) and have zero wear. This means that you have the smoothness of a bearing without the weight and with a longer lifespan.

Giga:Ā The Ɯber arbors of fly fishing reels that allow anglers to reel in more than a foot per turn. In addition, a unique design feature of these spools comes in grooves that let the bottom of the backing breathe to promote faster drying. The Giga arbors have redefined large arbor reel design.

Warranty

All Nautilus reels carry a limited lifetime warranty for the original owner covering any defect in materials and workmanship. This warranty provides that defective Nautilus fly reels will be repaired or replaced at our option at no charge for parts and labor. This warranty does not cover damage caused by accident, misuse, improper maintenance or modification.

Nautilus X 4/5

Some folks might consider it overkill, but I'd rather have a little more engine on my trout setup should I need it. The X drag system is superb and very reliable, with practically zero maintenance. I've dunked it for extended periods of time and never had a single issue. If you do hook into a fish that will show you backing, it shouldn't come as a surprise that the drag system reminds you of a saltwater rod with real stopping power as opposed to some freshwater rods, as its design is based off its bigger saltwater cousin, the CCF X2. Its also stupid light in hand and balances well with my Scott 5wt.
