Nautilus Reels

Nautilus Reels are proudly made in the USA however Nautilus’s roots can be traced all the way back to 1832 Norway where Ole Mustad founded the metal mechanics company O. Mustad & Søn. Today the 7th generation Mustads bring their 6x grandfather’s passion for fishing, innovation, and small metal parts to the Nautilus factory in Miami.

Nautilus reels have won countless awards and gained an almost cult-like following. These achievements can be credited to Nautilus’s obsession with improving the functionality, strength, and weight of reel parts.

Their slogan “Tested On Animals” comes from Nautilus Reels’s research & development tactics which stretch from local tarpon to British Columbia steelhead to Montana trout.
