The Galvan Torque fly fishing reel is the crown jewel of a lifetime of fly reel design and manufacturing. Galvan's founder Boni decided to create a reel with two main characteristics. Firstly, the reel had to feature a more substantial drag system than what was currently available from anyone else; and secondly--and perhaps most importantly--the reel had to be sexy. After being released to the public in 2004, the Torque quickly started to rack up awards and rave reviews including 2004's Editors Choice in Fly Fish America and 3rd in the more recent Yellowstone Anglers 8-weight Reel Shootout.

Unique cut-outs on the frame, spool, drag knob and reel foot reduce weight without sacrificing strength, and add to the aesthetic appeal. Rounded rims on the spool and increase resistance to impacts. Galvan's low coefficient of friction Torque Drag System features state-of-the-art thermoplastic and carbon fiber drag discs, as well as a self lubricating HPV plastic bushing that enables extremely low start-up inertia and little to no maintenance. A three pawl drag engagement system allows for extreme strength and perfect rotation. The Torque is fully saltwater safe and is extremely resistant to corrosion. No matter where you fish, if you're looking for a reel that punches WAY above its price point, the Torque is an excellent option!
