Nautilus FWX reels are so much lighter than the original FW Series!  Creative machining has lightened the Featherweights so much that they may be the lightest full drag reels in the world.  FWX reels feature the fully sealed no-plastic drag system that made the Featherweight Series a universally recognized industry standard over the last five years.  At sub $300, these are considerably underpriced.  New FWX spools will fit on your old FW reel, so you can lighten it up just by buying a new spool!
