New for 2006 is the Nautilus CCF Disc Brake System™. A maintenance free high performance drag system that is smoother, tougher, and simply better than any other drag system available in the market today. Housed in a hermetically sealed center hub, this patent pending drag system is impervious to the elements. No salt, sand, water or grit will ever interfere with your fly reel’s sublime performance. Born from the cross between the resilience and forgiveness of a cork drag, and the high performance requirement of Formula One carbon fiber disc brakes, this hybrid drag system is free of startup inertia and fade, raising the bar for fly reel performance yet again.

The Nautilus CCF Disc Brake System™ has been incorporated into all of our Nautilus CCF series reels, ranging from the Nautilus 8 to the 12S, giving you the added edge to protect your tippet’s integrity on trophy fish, whether fishing 20lb near lockdown or 4lb tippet at minimum drag.
