Nautilus unveils strong, smooth fly reels
Nautilus Reels has released the GTR 8/9 fly reel, the latest addition to its cutting-edge GT series, designed for anglers who demand absolute performance from their saltwater and heavy freshwater gear.
The GTR 8/9 is said to deliver uncompromising strength, smoothness and dependability in a reel purpose-built for powerful fish.
The GTR series is engineered to be stronger, lighter and more responsive than its predecessors, with a refined frame and expanded drag range that outpaces the NV-G series it replaces.
With a seamless left-hand to right-hand retrieve conversion, Miamai, Florida-based Nautilus says the GTR 8/9 combines innovation with simplicity in a sleek, modern design.
Nautilus’ owner and designer, Kristen Mustad, said: We’re excited to introduce the GTR 8/9, a reel that embodies everything Nautilus stands for – precision, performance and durability.
“This 4.5in-diameter reel gives anglers lightning-fast line pickup and the stopping power to handle bonefish, permit or steelhead with confidence. Soon you will be able to swap it with the 10/11 spool for tarpon season – one frame, multiple fisheries.”
The 8/9 spool is easily distinguishable from its larger sibling, the 10/11, with a larger arbor profile and clear 8/9 marking on the spool face. As with all GT series spools, integrated backing markers are machined directly into each spool for quick and accurate loading.
The GTR 8/9 is available in matte black and brushed titanium anodising and will handle a WF8 line and 225 yards of #30 Dacron 6.7oz. or a WF9 line with 200 yards of #30 Dacron 6.7oz.
