Nautilus GTS Fly Reels
Nautilus Reels
The Nautilus GTS fly reel, the replacement for the NV-G series, is impressively lightweight and offers an easy left-hand to right-hand conversion. It has an expanded drag adjustment range, and the sleekest design of any reel Nautlius reel yet made.
The GTS introduces a number of well considered details, including a spool release cap which is a 15/16” (24 mm) hex shape. This is the same size as a lug nut on a car, so if it ever gets stuck, you can remove it with a standard socket wrench. Nautilus also added external backing markers, with spools featuring two crossbars to indicate the optimal backing fill level for your line weight.
The drag, made up of multiple cork and carbon fiber surfaces, is exceptionally smooth with plenty of stopping power. As Nautilus explains, "the cork acts as an insulation and compression material to ensure a smooth drag transition while the carbon fiber delivers the market-leading overall smoothness that Nautilus Reels is known for."
At your request, we will rig this reel with Dacron backing free of charge. If you are purchasing a line and would like us to install both line and backing, let us know and we will have it fully rigged and ready to go. Add a note to your order on the shopping cart page to provide the following information:
- What color backing would you prefer? The free options are White, Fluorescent Yellow and Orange.
- If you are purchasing a line, would you like us to install it on the reel? If so, we will install the appropriate amount of backing for that line. If we will be installing backing without a line, we will go by the manufacturer’s specifications for the smallest line recommended for that reel. If you would prefer something different, please let us know.
