MADE FOR THE SEAS, NOT OVERSEAS

NAUTILUS REELS

PRECISION MADE IN MIAMI, USA

Nautilus fly reels are the finest reels made. They are the result of an incessant drive to explore, engineer, reinvent, and never stop thinking outside the box. Some of the materials and machining techniques we apply to our reels today did not exist when we started on our mission to make the world’s best fly reels. In a market where cork drags were the pinnacle of reel drag performance—a material that the automotive industry stopped using in the 50s for larger but similar applications—the only option was to reinvent. And reinvent we did, and we've never stopped since.

FISHED EVERYWHERE.

From raw aluminum to open water, every reel is built to perform under pressure—through salt, sand, and everything in between.

Before

After

Drag
Unprecedented reliability. They never fail, never slip and take endless abuse. Smooth drag, especially on start-up. The large retrieve for line pick up.

Oliver White, Ambassador

The greatest thing about a Nautilus X reel is that I can fish for small mouth, Musky, trout and bonefish with the same reel. Nautilus is definitely ahead of the curve... Super smooth drags and stylish color schemes. Extremely durable as well.

Walker Parrott, Pro Guide

“Why? The Silver King! I can use this reel for inshore or offshore because of its lightness and drag system. It’s a very versatile reel.”

Captain Monique Newman

LEADING THROUGH INNOVATION

In saltwater, there’s no margin for error. Every Nautilus reel is engineered from the inside out to perform under heat, pressure, speed, and corrosion—where it matters most. Beneath the clean design is a system of precisely integrated components, each built to elevate performance on the water and give you the edge when it matters most.

Built to Last

The Giga Arbor design features machined grooves that allow water to flow through the line and backing, flushing out salt and dirt while enabling air to circulate underneath for faster drying. Purpose? Minimize the chances for corrosion.

Style Meets Function

The Nautilus shell cut outs in our frame were the beginning of our company motto: Stronger, lighter, better.
