The Nautilus 8, 10 and 12 now house the revolutionary CCF Disc Brake System.  Featuring the smoothest, toughest, most consistent and simply the best drag system in the market today, these reels deliver silky smooth drag with near zero start-up inertia. These maintenance free disc drags are built to withstand relentless punishment in the toughest of conditions.  Pro staffers, customers and independent testers alike have repeatedly been awed by the reels’ superior ability to withstand punishment and deliver consistently flawless performance. 

Built on a backbone of four oversized stainless steel ball bearings, centered around the CCF Disc Brake Systems’ ability to dissipate heat quickly and away from the working components, this reel was engineered to withstand extreme fishing environments and any and all forces that a fish may throw at a fisherman. These are without a doubt, the best reels money can buy!

These lightweight Nautilus CCF reels have a silent retrieve and smooth outgoing click, and sport hot changeable spools for quick and easy line changing on the water. All Nautilus CCF reels feature large arbor spools for fast line retrieval, near zero start-up inertia and line memory, and have ample backing capacity to handle long and hard running fish. A sculpted drag knob offers infinite setting range from free spool to near lock down.

The Nautilus salt water series will cover your needs whether stalking bonefish on distant tropical flats in sweltering heat, battling billfish in the Gulf Stream or Spey casting to salmon and steelhead in freezing latitudes. Count on Nautilus Reels to provide you with the ultimate fly fishing experience.

New for 2006, the Nautilus 12T bridges the gap between the Nautilus 12 and the 12S. Powered by the larger version of the Nautilus CCF Disc Brake System™, the 12T and 12S are ideally suited for either fighting the largest big game species or Spey fishing the longest bellied lines available in the market today.

When chasing big fish, the retrieval rate of the12T and 12S will minimize the chance of a slack line, allowing you to keep constant pressure on big fish, reducing the time it takes to land a fish and increasing the odds of a successful release. Whether chasing Tarpon on a Key West flat, or Yellowfin tuna in Bermudas these reels will outperform every other reel on the market, every time.
