Five independent braking surfaces working simultaneously through the Pentadrag system, distributing heat and friction load across the drag to prevent the fade that ends fights on inferior reels. 25-plus pounds of maximum drag pressure, two-turn adjustment range, fully sealed for extreme duty saltwater conditions, and a narrow Giga spool carrying 500 yards of 60-pound braid. This reel was built for fish that do not play fair -- tarpon, GT, permit, and anything else in open water that runs hard, runs long, and tests everything between you and the backing knot. The GTX is not a casual recommendation. It surfaces when the conditions require it and nothing else will do\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDetails from the design team:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe GTX from Nautilus Reels is in a class of its own.

The spool is lightweight and intricately machined with our Giga spool design to promote strength, maximum line pickup, and fast line drying to prevent corrosion when stored.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe GTX Pentadrag braking system is a brand new design that is best described as a hybrid NV-G\/CCF-X2\/X-Series drag on steroids. The new Pentadrag features 3 cork and carbon fiber surfaces and two free floating carbon fiber surfaces that are topped with a Kevlar®\/carbon fiber hybrid precision plate that ensures even pressure at all points of the drag surfaces. The cork acts as an insulation and compression material to ensure a smooth drag transition while the carbon fiber delivers the market-leading overall smoothness that Nautilus Reels is known for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo control the drag tension, Nautilus designed the all new GripTorq drag knob. Intricately machined on 4 axes to promote light weight, strength and more grip than on any other drag knob in the industry. The GTX GripTorq drag knob measures 1.9” in diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nautilus","offers":[{"title":"Nautilus GTX Reel \/ Founding Flats Ltd.
