Novus Elite Casting Reel

Maximum Drag. Elite Control.

The Novus was built to impress. The Novus Elite was built to dominate. This is the most refined reel in the Novus family — engineered for anglers who demand maximum drag power, lighter weight, and ultra-smooth performance in a premium casting platform that can handle anything you throw at it.

Available in 7.3:1 and 8.1:1 gear ratios, the Novus Elite gives you the choice between power-retrieve versatility and high-speed line pickup — so you can match the reel to your technique, not the other way around.

The Elite Difference

• 17.6 lb Max Drag — A massive upgrade over the standard Novus; enough stopping power to turn big bass out of heavy cover, period
• 10+1 Bearing System — Three more bearings than the Novus for a noticeably smoother, more refined retrieve on every technique
• Aluminum Frame — Rigid, lightweight construction that keeps the reel solid under maximum drag load without adding bulk
• High-Strength Brass Drive Gear — Durable, smooth power transfer built to handle the demands of heavy cover fishing and big fish
• Dual Brake System — Precise, repeatable cast control for any lure weight or wind condition
• Zirconia Line Guide — Hard, smooth surface that protects your line and maximizes casting distance and accuracy
• 7.3:1 & 8.1:1 Gear Ratio Options — Choose your speed; both deliver the smooth, powerful retrieve the Elite is known for
