Introducing the CCF-X2, the newest and most advanced Nautilus reel family member. Its award-winning dual-action CCF-X2 drag system boasts double the drag strength (20+ lbs), smoothness, and half the startup inertia of its predecessor.
Available in four sizes (6/8, 8/10, 10/12, and Silver King), each reel features a big-game handle, full Activseal technology, hybrid ceramic bearings, TPX bushings, and an oversized drag knob with the Infinajust system for smooth, zero-to-max drag adjustment in six turns.
6/8: A 4-inch large arbor reel for 6-8 weight lines.
8/10: Ideal for 8-weight lines, offering nearly 12 inches of line retrieval per handle turn with a WF8 line.
10/12: Sharing a frame with the 8/10, this 4.5-inch reel allows interchangeable spools for 8-12 weight lines.
Silver King: The world's lightest 5-inch big game reel, retrieving 14 inches of line per turn. It's fully sealed, equipped with hybrid ceramic bearings, TPX bushings, and an oversized drag knob with Infinadjust.
Nautilus also introduces Speyrings, an innovative solution for Spey anglers. Recognizing the challenges of thin running lines on full-frame reels, Nautilus previously offered Spey spools for their NV reels. Now, Speyrings offer a simpler, more cost-effective alternative. These four small rings quickly attach to the Silver King's frame, closing the frame/spool gap to prevent thin lines (0.025" or less) from slipping. This eliminates the need for dedicated Spey reels or thicker running lines, making the Silver King a truly versatile "one reel for all" option.
- The CCF-X2 Disc Braking System is an upgraded, stronger, lighter version of the Cork and Carbon Fiber brake of its predecessor. It features twice the drag surface in a dual action brake configuration. Coupled with hybrid ceramic bearings, the reel delivers less than 1% startup inertia at all drag settings. This brake unit is feather light and can be easily switched from RH to LH retrieve. The Brembo® brakes of fly fishing.
- ActiveSeal perpetually repels contaminants from braking system.
- Hooker: Wrap your line or hang your fly on it (*optional accessory)
- Giga: The Uber arbors of fly fishing reels. Reel in more than a foot per turn of the handle. A unique design feature of these spools is grooves that let the bottom of the backing breathe to promote faster drying. The giga arbors have redefined large arbor reel design.
- Laser-ID: This has become a favorite product to come out of the Nautilus think-tank. We laser etch a white spot to the inside of the spool which leaves a textured surface that can be written on. Use a thin permanent marker to write on the line weight or any other information you need. No more washed out or peeled off line stickers. If you ever need to change it, wipe it off with alcohol for a blank slate.
- InfinAdjust: The over sized CCF-X2 drag knob features the InfinAdjust drag control system: six turns of the drag knob take you from zero to 20+lbs to allow you to precisely adjust your drag tension without fear of over adjusting.
