Novus Elite Casting Reel

The angler who has fished the Novus Pro knows what it can do.

The Novus Elite takes it further.

Be it the tournament stage where every component is tested under pressure, the long day on the water where smoothness and reliability are everything, or the moment a trophy fish runs and the reel must perform without question — the Denali Novus Elite Casting Reel is built for the angler who is ready for the next level of baitcasting performance.

The Elite steps above the Novus Pro with refined internals, enhanced drag precision, and the premium construction that earns its place alongside the DLE and Android rod series without hesitation. Available in the same two gear ratios — a 7.3:1 High Speed for versatile presentations and a blazing 8.1:1 Xtra Speed for burning reaction baits — but with the elevated performance that separates the Elite from everything below it.

The Novus lineup tells a clear story: Novus Pro → Novus Elite. The Elite is the step that tournament-minded anglers take when they need every advantage the reel can give them.
