Nautilus fly reels are the finest reels made and are the fruit of 180 years of family tradition, innovation, and excellence.
When you visit the Nautilus Reels factory in Miami, you encounter dedication amplified by passion, diligence fueled by tradition, and generations of experience with machinery. At Nautilus Reels, angler innovators will share with enthusiasm their cutting-edge advancements in fly fishing reel design and manufacturing in light of “Tested on Animals” research and development with fly-targeted species from steelhead in British Columbia to trout in Montana to tarpon not far from the Nautilus camp.
Interested in a Custom Color that you don't see here? Let us know! We are passionate about helping you design the Custom Nautilus reel of your dreams.
***Please Note: As of August 2023 the Custom Colors we have known for about 10 years now are being retired. As we sell them, they will be removed from the website. New colors are on order!!! We will be posting them here as we get them.....which could be a bit! Just FYI!
9/20/23 Update- We are starting to get some of the new Matte Finish colors in stock and will be listing them here once photographed. As we sell through the old color stock, there will be a listing of both old colors and new colors here. Please note the names of the new colors: Fathom Blue, Glades Green, Nautilus Red, Purple Haze and Storm Gray.
Want line and backing on that? Simply purchase a fly line along with a reel and tell us to "Line it Up" in the Order Notes along with Right or Left hand retrieve. We'll put the correct amount of backing on the reel and load it up properly...for FREE.
