Nautilus CCF Reels

The Nautilus 8, 10, 12, 12DD, 12T, 12S now house the revolutionary System. Still the smoothest, toughest, and most consistent drag system in the market. The CCF series brought new technology into the big game fly fishing market by introducing a drag system that incorporated all the qualities of cork drags and added the unbeatable startup inertia of carbon fiber. Five years in and our CCF reels are still sealed and maintenance free and perform identically to the day they left the factory. That is what you can expect from all our products. We created the perfect braking system, and now have 6 just as perfect reels built around it!

The Nautilus 12S was designed to satisfy the needs of blue water fly fishermen and Spey casters.

Introduced in 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.

New for 2009, the Nautilus 12 DD (Double Duty) falls between the 12 and 12T and weighs a mere 10.2 oz. As with all Nautilus CCF reels, the 12DD features the award winning Nautilus CCF drag system that is entirely sealed and maintenance free. The Nautilus 12DD is recommended as a larger capacity 11-13 weight reel for larger tarpon, giant trevally, mid-size tuna and sailfish. In fresh water the Nautilus 12DD's capacity and light weight will be appreciated by Spey and 2 handed fly fishers that are turning to shorter, lighter spey rods.

Reels are available standard in black or brushed silver anodizing. Customer color anodizing available.
