Looking for a Nautilus Ten-Eleven of the NV G8/9 spool. I prefer the silver spools, but other colors are fine, as well. Thank you! Richard

Selling a used silver Nautilus CCF-X2 6/8 in great condition with 8wt line and pouch. This is a great all around reel for the fresh or salt as its very light. I'm located on Cape Cod and I'm only interested in a local sale as I am not dealing with Paypal anymore. Price is $350.

Don't know if this has ever happened to any of you guys, but the feeling of thinking you have found the perfect reel that ends up being not perfect is brutal! The CCF-X2 with a 8/10 spool has been on my shopping list for a long time and as I had some loose money last fall I decided to go for it. The reel has a 4,5" diameter and a 1inch wide spool. At 8,5oz it fits modern rods very well and despite being so light, the build quality is very high and robust. It also packs a hefty drag and good line capacity. The ergonomics of the reel are perfect for me. The handle is very easy to grip and you can pick up line with it fast. The spool release knob is easy to use and the drag adjustment knob is just like I want it to be. The reel is perfect, right? Well, not really. For some reason they opted to go with a very very long drag curve on this reel and it's just something that is very hard to get used to. It takes 6 full turns from zero to 24lb. So you end up turning that knob a lot on day out on the salt. It's just very annoying. The icing on the cake is that the last 1/3 turn takes the drag from 10-12lb to a hefty 24lb. So you got all that room to adjust the drag and then suddenly you don't:). The adjustment area is so long that you kinda loose track of it in the heat of the battle too. I broke one fly line last fall because of this. It was the biggest albie I have seen. I hope he got rid of the piece of fly line at some point. I know that for certain type of fishing a long drag curve like that doesn't matter and can be even good as you can "micro adjust" your drag. I personally don't know anyone that likes a drag adjustment like that though. We will see if I ever get the hang of that drag adjustment or not.

Hi All, Hope your season has been going well. I'm new to the forum and need some direction. I just purchased a Scott Tidal 8wt and am in the market for a nice reel match up. I'm comparing 3 reels: Galvan - torque Allen- Kraken Xla Nautilus -? I don't have a local shop that carries any of these reels so I'm looking for some advice on performance, balance, fit and fish. Thanks in advance!
