Precision, Feel, and Fine-Tuned Control
Masterfully engineered for the modern trout, bass, and light saltwater angler, the Nautilus GTS – Custom Color Series Fly Reel brings the elite DNA of the GTX into a finely calibrated reel designed for 5–8 weight fishing. This is performance sculpted with intention—fast-start drag engagement, ultra-smooth control, and the kind of nuanced tuning that turns technical fishing into artistry.
The GTS uses a dual-turn drag system built specifically for mid-weight fishing. Turn one: feather-light control for delicate 5–6 wt tippets. Turn two: a surge to 12 lbs of stopping power for fired-up 7–8 wt fish. Need more? Another half-turn takes you into territory where only bold anglers tread—where rods bow deep and fish make their last stand.
Every detail is refined: lightweight frame, seamless L-to-R conversion, precision backing markers, modern aesthetics, and a spool cap that removes easily with a standard 24mm socket. Available in custom color finishes, the GTS is equal parts performance machine and personalized statement piece.
