Introducing the Galvan Torque Large Arbor reel. Function, unique design, and quality: All the hallmarks of the Galvan tradition are represented in this completely new reel.
What's different about it? Everything. From the rounded spool and frame rims, to the contoured counter balance, to the uniquely designed cutouts on the spool, frame, and drag knob, to the innovative new drag system, the Torque is clearly a step up in fly reel design. The drag system for the Torque is composed of stainless steel and a state-of-the-art, heat- and wear-resistant thermoplastic unlike anything else on the reel market. It is completely salt water safe, and will continue to perform flawlessly under the harshest conditions from the flats and the blue water to the mountain streams and the coastal rivers.

A
mid-priced reel with a state-of-the-art drag system. The RUSH
Large-Arbor series was designed with the budget-conscious angler in
mind. It features the same incredibly smooth and durable thermoplastic
drag system as the Torque, but with a more basic spool and frame design
to keep costs down. The Rush is also constructed with all of the
quality that has been a hallmark of the Galvan tradition. It is
available in sizes three weight to eight weight for all types of
fishing. Top-of-the-line performance at a mid-line price. Available in
a matte-black anodized finish.
The
Open Back reel was introduced to the market in March of 1999. The Open
Back incorporates a large arbor for a few reasons. First, the large
diameter on the Open Back dramatically increases retrieve speed. Line
is picked up much more rapidly than with a conventional spool. Second,
on a long running fish, a conventional reel will spin faster and faster
as more and more line is taken out. The resulting increase in drag is
often enough to pop a light tippet. With a large arbor spool, drag
tension remains almost constant as more line and backing are pulled
from the reel, thus reducing the chances of breaking off a big fish.
Finally, line is stored in bigger loops, thus reducing the line coil
memory and those annoying loops that come off near the bottom of a
conventional spool.
Galvan
continues to offer the reel that started the tradition. The Standard is
for the angler who prefers the classic styling and solid performance of
a standard arbor reel. This moderately priced, high-quality reel is
available in sizes for 2 through 6 weight rods and is salt water safe.
The
silent retrieve and quiet, pleasing outgoing click will make you feel
like part of the river; no harsh clicking or clacking to echo off the
canyon walls here. Changing retrieve direction on the Galvan is as easy
as flipping over the clutch. This light, smooth, simply elegant reel
has to be seen and felt to be appreciated.
