Created to commemorate America's 250th anniversary, this limited-edition Red, White & Blue GTS is a limited production honoring 250 years of American independence and American manufacturing. The GTS 5/6 is a specialist tool for anglers who care about drag feel as much as drag strength. Built around a GT drag system derived directly from GTX architecture and tuned for lighter line classes, it delivers precise, responsive resistance that you can adjust mid-fight and feel the difference immediately. Fully sealed for saltwater use, versatile enough for heavy freshwater applications. This is not a reel for someone who wants to set the drag and forget it. It is for anglers who fish actively, adjust constantly, and want a system that responds like it should at 5 and 6 weight. This America's 250 Edition is built for anglers who demand the very best—and appreciate owning a reel as rare as the moments it's made for.

The GT Drag System
The GT drag system is derived directly from the GTX Pentadrag architecture and scaled to the demands of each GT model. Where most drag systems are built for maximum stopping power, the GT is engineered for feel and control—delivering a precise, responsive drag curve that lets you apply exactly the pressure you want at any point in the fight. GTS models are staged for finesse and lighter line classes. GTR models run a stronger spring for a broader power band when the fish get bigger.
What It Is
Fully sealed drag system derived from GTX architecture, tuned per model for line-class-specific performance. GTS staged for finesse and control. GTR built for power and range. Both fully sealed against saltwater, sand, and debris.
What It Means on the Water
You feel the difference in the first fight. The drag responds to your adjustment immediately and predictably, with no lag and no overshoot. For anglers who want to manage pressure actively through the fight rather than set and forget, the GT is the tool.
