    NAUTILUS X-SERIES XL FLY REEL : 6-7WT 

    Nautilus X-Series XL Fly Reels feature a completely open frame that is extremely light, boasts superior rigidity, a super smooth powerhouse drag, and amazingly fast line pick up. The cutting edge 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 Teflon® and carbon fiber disc drag system that is impervious to the elements, self lubricating, and maintenance free. The drag is adjusted with a generous drag knob that offers superior gripping surface for wet and cold fingers. The Nautilus X Series XL Fly Reel is the perfect choice as a lightweight, tough-as-nails, steelhead, bass, and light saltwater fly reel to grace any high end fly rod. 

    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 1/8″ 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 Nautilus' 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 – 3.25” Diameter, 3.8 oz, XM – 3.5” diameter, 4.1 oz,  and a 4” 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.

    FEATURES:

    • Totally new SCF-X drag is a sealed Teflon® and carbon fiber disc drag system
    • Generous drag knob that offers superior gripping surface and texture for wet and cold fingers
    • Precision engineered TPX bushings are feather light, self-lubricating, with zero wear over time
    • Giga sized spool arbor picks up more a foot of line per revolution
    • Grooved spool design allows backing to breathe and dry faster
    • Available in standard colors: Brushed Titanium or Stealth Black anodized finish

    Amazing reel. This is my first nautilus product and I love it. The fit and finish is excellent and the reel is butter smooth! Amazingly light so it can be used for almost any setup because it’s not just light but powerful!

    I bought this for for a multi species set up. This reel is awesome! Top of the line. This thing is soo light! I got the 6/7 so I could also get the interchangeable spool for the 8/9 but it’s so light you could easily run the good o’l 5wt with no issue

The fit and finish on this is immaculate! It’s a little expensive, but you won’t be disappointed!

    Tropical storm Hannah caused me to cancel a trip to the coast and redirected to the Hill Country. In preparation for a trip to Alaska my 6wt reels were with Buddies practicing for their first fly fishing trip. Last minute I ordered a Nautilus XL, go it two days later and had a blast in the rivers. It's my third different Nautilus reel and none have disappointed me. Great Reels and Great staff as well

    Just completed my first fly fishing trip with this reel. This reel has pleasing sound when reeling in and it's smooth as butter.
