    NAUTILUS XM FLY REEL : 4-5WT 

    Nautilus XM 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 Nautilus XM 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 XM Fly Reel is the perfect choice as a lightweight, tough-as-nails, all-purpose freshwater 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

    Great reel pairing with my Scott Rod in a 6wt. Not a ton of room for backing, would've gone with the XL had they had it in black. But the drag is top notch!

    Awesome reel, decided to change it up from Ross and really like the drag and feel of the reel in hand. Very well built and lighter weight compared to most Ross.
