Nautilus down, no!!! That's painful to say the least. Fortunately, the Javelin will make you smile if you love the Nautilus. I spent a good bit of time "junk fishing" with the Javelin this weekend, and have been fishing it a lot since I got it. It's very reminiscent of the legendary Nautilus, but the shorter handle is more comfortable for all but those long cast open water presentations. Hungry Cow has some good insights as well, I find the power differential less noticeable than he does however, perhaps 1/4 power at most on the Javelin.alexandboi wrote:How similar to the nautilus is the javelin? Is it as versatile? My Nautilus snapped in half today, and if I cannot find a used nautilus soon I may have to pick up a Javelin to replace it...
My best recommendation is to pick up the Javelin at The Tackle Trap if you loved the Nautilus - and any of you guys who missed out on the Nautilus, get one of these, you'll love it. It's light, sensitive, and highly versatile, phenomenal rod and the write up Tackle Tour did notated that this rod has the special "it" factor you'll notice as soon as you pick it up...
