Galvan Torque Large Arbor Fly Reel

The revised Galvan Torque fly reel now comes in a multitude of colors and has a 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 drag system for the Galvan Torque Fly Reel is composed of stainless steel and a state-of-the-art, heat- and wear-resistant thermoplastic unlike anything else on the reel market. The Torque fly reel 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. The Galvan Torque comes in a wide color selection as well including Black, Burnt Orange, Clear, Green and Blue.

As the premier reel in the Galvan series, the Torque Fly Reel represents the culmination of a lifetime of fly-fishing and passion for reel design. Simply stated, it represents the very best of modern fly reel architecture. The Torque was created because Boni wanted to create a revolutionary reel with more sufficient drag system than was presently available on the market and it had to be sexy. Thus the Torque Fly Reel was born

The unique Torque fly reel, the 4th series in creation, was the first reel released with our Galvan Torque drag system, which is now employed in all of our reels. Its inception was in late 2002 with prototypes coming to life in 2003. After being tested, retested and modified it was finally released to the public in 2004. It immediately won the 2004 Editors choice in Fly Fish America and was ranked #3 in the recent 8-weight reel shootout, beating out all other reels in function and price (link). Its original style and unique porting has solidified Galvan’s reputation as a leading innovator in the industry.

The visually striking appearance of the Galvan Torque Fly Reel is a result of the unique cutouts on the frame, spool, drag knob and foot. This design is not only aesthetic but also structural as it significantly reduces the weight of the reel while maintaining strength and increasing rigidity .The rounded rims on both spool and frame enhance durability to better withstand impact during extreme angling conditions.

From first glance, the hand is drawn to the reel and from the first crank of the contoured counter balance spool, the quality becomes apparent: efficiency and simplicity driven by function. In this case, less is more and cost is no exception as the Torque retails at half the price of reels in its class.

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. Tough as nails and skillfully marries the technology of the future with the tradition of the past you need a Galvan Torque Fly Reel.

Torquemoment, or moment of force (see the terminology below) is the tendency of a force to rotate an object about an axis, fulcrum, or pivot. Just as a force is a push or a pull, a torque can be thought of as a twist to an object. Mathematically, torque is defined as the cross product of the lever-arm distance vector and the force vector, which tends to produce rotation.

    Galvan Torque 5

    I have not had a chance to use my new Galvan Torque 5. However, the looks and feel are great. I intend to use it on the beach here in San Diego County to fish for corbina and spotfin croaker. I will take it to Northern California to fish freshwater with my son. I'll keep you posted regarding my anticipated success. I'm sure the reel will work flawlessly as advertised!

    Outstanding Quality

    I just purchased the Galvan Torque fly reel #6. I did a lot of research on fly reels primarily used for trout and other fresh water fish. I wanted a large arbor to improve retrieve speed and a great drag for large fish. Without question, the Galvan came to the top as a recommendation from various fly shops and available information. It is light, beautifully constructed and it has an outstanding drag. I bought the burnt orange and it looks great with my Sage rod. Platte River also put backing and line on it at no charge.

    Great reel, great service!

    Bought this for a new custom fly rod based on various excellent reviews, both by consumers and professional publications, and i'm very satisfied. Silky drag, very high quality build! Platte River didn't have the color I wanted in stock, but they contacted Galvan and had them expedite shipping to me directly so I'd have it for an upcoming trip. They included the fly line so I'd be ready to go. Great experience and I'll be a repeat customer.
