Full Description

The Nautilus CCF-X2 delivers next-level performance for saltwater anglers at a more approachable price. Built for the demands of powerful saltwater gamefish, the CCF-X2 combines a large-arbor design with Nautilus' proven construction to provide the strength, capacity, and fast line recovery needed when you're connected to a fish that can take you deep into the backing.

Available in 6/8, 8/10, and 10/12 sizes, the CCF-X2 covers a wide range of saltwater applications. The 8/10 and 10/12 models offer an especially versatile setup: both sizes use the same reel body and differ only in the spool. With the appropriate spool, one reel body can handle either line size, giving anglers the functionality of two reels without having to purchase two complete setups.

The CCF-X2 is built for anglers who want serious saltwater performance without stepping all the way up to the Silver King. Its substantial backing capacity makes it well suited to tarpon and other powerful gamefish, while the smaller 6/8 model brings the same CCF-X2 design philosophy to lighter saltwater applications.

Versatile by Design

The CCF-X2 also includes Nautilus' Speyrings, four small rings that snap onto the reel frame to close the gap between the frame and spool. This helps prevent thin running lines from slipping through the frame when using the reel for two-handed or Spey applications. It's a useful bit of added versatility for anglers who want one reel that can move between saltwater and freshwater applications.

OVERVIEW

NAUTILUS CCFX2

The newest addition to the Nautilus family is the CCF-X2. The multiple award winning dual action CCF-X2 drag system features twice the drag strength (20lbs+), twice the smoothness and half the startup inertia as the former CCF.

The CCF-X2 is featured in 4 sizes – the 6/8, 8/10, 10/12 and Silver King. All reels feature the made-for-fish fighting, big game handle and are fully sealed using our proprietary Activseal technology. Other components included in the CCF-X2 line are hybrid ceramic bearings, TPX bushings and an oversized drag knob to adjust the smoothest drag from zero to max in 6 full turns with our Infinajust system.

The 6/8 is a 4-inch large arbor 6-8 weight reel. For more line pick up, the 8/10 is a great 8 weight with almost 12 inches of line pick up with a WF8 line per turn of the handle. The 4.5-inch 8/10 and 10/12 reels share the same frame and the spools can be interchanged for a set up that covers 8 to 12 weight lines with just an extra spool. The Silver King is the latest addition to the CCF-X2 line and is the world’s lightest 5-inch diameter true big game reel on the market. This dominator of all things silver picks up 14-inches of line per turn of the handle and will reel in your prize like none other. In addition, this reel is fully sealed and loaded with hybrid ceramic bearings, TPX bushings and an oversized drag knob with Infinadjust range settings.

Features

  • CCF-X2 Disc Brake - The CCF-X2 Disc Braking System is an upgraded, stronger, lighter version of the Cork and Carbon Fiber brake of its predecessor. It features twice the drag surface in a dual action brake configuration. Coupled with hybrid ceramic bearings, the reel delivers less than 1% startup inertia at all drag settings. This brake unit is feather light and can be easily switched from RH to LH retrieve. The Brembo® brakes of fly fishing.
  • Activseal - Perpetually repels contaminants from braking system.
  • Giga - Giga: The Uber arbors of fly fishing reels. Reel in more than a foot per turn of the handle. A unique design feature of these spools is grooves that let the bottom of the backing breathe to promote faster drying. The giga arbors have redefined large arbor reel design.
  • Laser-ID - Laser-ID: This has become a favorite product to come out of the Nautilus think-tank. We laser etch a white spot to the inside of the spool which leaves a textured surface that can be written on. Use a thin permanent marker to write on the line weight or any other information you need. No more washed out or peeled off line stickers. If you ever need to change it, wipe it off with alcohol for a blank slate.
  • InfinAdjust - The over sized CCF-X2 drag knob features the InfinAdjust drag control system: six turns of the drag knob take you from zero to 20+lbs to allow you to precisely adjust your drag tension without fear of over adjusting.
