I know and fish with quite a few folks who fish Nautilus reels and like them a lot.
They seem to really like the sealed drag and quality of the reels.

Only downside to a sealed drag is if it takes a [Bleeeeep!] on you, you can't service it yourself like you can an Abel, Tibor etc.
Trying to self service a sealed drag is like trying to fix the yolk of an egg without cracking the shell......

Lol my eyes suck I don't service my reels myself anyway.


I hear ya.
My eyesite sucks as well.

My only point is, if you are in the middle of bum [Bleeeeep!] nowhere and your reel needs some attention, at least with a non sealed drag you can attempt to fix it.
Sealed drag....no go unless you have a replacement with you which 99.9% of the people won't and the one anal guy will.

Did I ever tell the story here about the new Orvis reel model I got that failed on a rather remote island in the Turks and Caicos?
First day the drag knob stopped turning. Second day the handle fell off while playing a bonefish......
Nothing better then being a beta tester for new products. grin
Luckily I brought a small screwdriver kit with me on the trip to get the thing working at least half assed.
