NAUTILUS X-Series Fly Reels with Exclusive SCF-X Disc Brake Technology

The Nautilus X-Series fly reels redefine performance for anglers seeking a balance of strength, lightweight construction, and uncompromising drag smoothness. Engineered with an open-frame design, the X-Series is built to deliver swift line retrieval and exceptional durability. Its robust structure features meticulously crafted beams extending from the center to a wide line guard, ensuring stability and rear spool rim protectiona practical feature for scenarios where the reel may come in contact with rough surfaces, such as when leaning the rod against a wall or vehicle.

At the core of the X-Series is the newly developed SCF-X drag system, a fully sealed Teflon and carbon fiber disc drag that delivers reliable, consistent resistance across varied conditions. The drag knob is ergonomically enhanced with a textured surface, providing optimal control even with wet or cold hands.

The innovative arch design not only increases the reels ventilation but also reinforces the spool by 35%, while the dual palming rim allows for additional fish control. The exposed frame sides offer full access to the spool, and the 1/8″ secondary palming rim at the back adds a layer of handling finesse when battling larger fish.

Available in three frame sizes XS, XM, and XL the X-Series is versatile across various fishing requirements. The XL frame, weighing only 4.7 ounces, accommodates both the standard XL Giga arbor spool (6/7 weight) and the XL MAX Giga arbor spool (8/9 weight), making it ideal for larger freshwater species and light saltwater fishing. Choose between brushed titanium or black anodized finishes to complement any anglers setup.
