Nautilus Reels is proud to announce the launch of the new fly reel, the latest addition to the cutting-edge GT series. Designed for anglers who demand absolute performance from their saltwater and heavy freshwater gear, the GTR delivers uncompromising strength, smoothness, and dependability in a reel purpose-built for powerful fish.
The GTR series is engineered to be stronger, lighter, and more responsive than its predecessors, with a refined frame and expanded drag range that outpaces the NV-G series it replaces. With a seamless left-hand to right-hand retrieve conversion, the GTR 8/9 combines innovation with simplicity in a sleek, modern design.
We’re excited to introduce the GTR 8/9, a reel that embodies everything Nautilus stands for—precision, performance, and durability. This 4.5-diameter reel gives anglers lightning-fast line pickup and the stopping power to handle bonefish, permit, or steelhead with confidence. Soon you will be able to swap it with the 10/11 spool for tarpon season—one frame, multiple fisheries.
The 8/9 spool is easily distinguishable from its larger sibling, the 10/11 spool, with a larger arbor profile and clear 8/9 marking on the spool face. As with all GT series spools, integrated backing markers are machined directly into each spool for quick and accurate loading.
