Galvan Torque Fly Reels

Galvan Torque Fly Reels have set a standard for others to beat. Large arbor, lightweight, machined 6061-T6 Aluminum and a reliable carbon fiber drag system allows the Torque to compete on the highest level with other premium fly reels.

The Galvan Torque is one of those rare cases where the product simply was ahead of its time. Introduced in 2004, the Torque series has been with us for 14 years at the time of this writing and it just continues to exceed expectations.

New for 2018, Galvan added new sizes to the series. A T-7 and T-9 now allow anglers to more closely and precisely match reel to rod for balance and backing needs.

Includes Free Fly Line up to $79.99 value with purchase of this item. We carry RIO, Airflo

and Scientific Anglers Fly Lines. We will upgrade lines for the difference in cost.

The Torque is saltwater safe, and will perform flawlessly under the harshest conditions. From remote alpine lakes to the saltwater flats the highly ventilated spool and frame balance nicely with the lightest of todays fly rods yet still compliments a modern big game saltwater stick. The Torque is tough as nails and skillfully marries the technology of the future with the tradition of the past.
