Nautilus GTR 8/9

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.

Bigger, lighter, better continues to drive Nautilus innovation, and the GTR 8/9 is the latest proof of that vision.

The GTR 8/9 is available in matte black and brushed titanium anodizing.

MSRP: $875 for the reel, $415 for a spare spool.
