Fish an incredible Galvan reel — The Galvan Torque fly reel
The visually striking appearance of the Torque 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.
With their maximum ported spool design, these Galvan reels are lightweight and hail one of the best strength-to-weight ratios of any fly fishing reels in their class. The Torque Series Galvan Fly reels are truly remarkable! These Galvan reels deliver and perform with an incredibly low start up inertia. Whether you need a Galvan fly reel for stalking trout or a Galvan bonefish reel, the torque series Galvan fly reels offer something for every fly fisherman.

Best service
The manager named Gabe Parr has excellent service. I bought a reel for the first time, but due to my carelessness, I got the wrong size. When I found out, I contacted them and they responded immediately and sent me new information immediately. This time I wanted to buy a brand new rod. I asked them and he answered my questions very patiently. I have already placed an order for this rod, and I believe this will not be the last time I buy from him because I am impressed by his service attitude and ability.

Galvan Torque 8wt
Sweet reel for the price point. Looks great, quiet drag, and feels good. Only con is drag must be turned many times to tighten drag. Handles 10 lb stripers with ease.

Galvan Torque
Have not had a chance to use yet. Purchased to go on Scott Centric. Own two other Galvan reels and have been happy with them

The Galvan Workhorse
Solid craftsmanship and functionally awesome. Smooth start up, super tight tolerances, lightweight but bulletproof. Looks absolutely amazing on my T&T Zone.

Galvan Precision
The Torque is a precision built, beautifully designed tool made in the USA. Matched this up with my Thomas & Thomas Zone and I have been wowed by it. Balances it out very well. Start up is smooth and the ergonomics of this reel are very well thought out. I am sold on Galvan and am now a life customer.

THE reel to own.
I almost exclusively fish Galvan reels. You should too.

The standard for a good reel
Beautiful, decently light, not narcissistically expensive, and made in the USA. WIN. My wife won against a 30" Cutbow on a 5wt thanks to this reel.

Great Reel
Recently purchased a Galvan Torque 6 and had the chance to fish with it in Montana. Great product and pricing from Stillwater.

Get Torqued
Love these reels in sizes 4-7. They added an extra gear clutch in the latest reels. Can’t got wrong with Torque!

Great Reel
I bought a purple Torque 6 that was coming from Galvan. The staff was great with answering my questions when I called about the status. When I finally received the reel I was amazing at how light it was. It's an amazing reel to use smooth with a strong drag and the purple is to die for!

The Best
I've had my Torque 5 for two years, but the acid test was when we went Spinney Reservoir in Colorado. My wife was using this reel + an Orvis Helios 3d 5 weight. She battled, and won, against some giants, and these fish were unlike any trout I've fought; they took long runs, deep dives, & it always wound up on the reel. Long story short, she pulled in some giants but wrangled a 30", 9lb trout thanks to this reel. The drag is about perfect. The weight is good enough. Adjustments are pretty much infinite. Looks are among the best. Price is better than most of the overpriced reels out there. Made in the US. Go Galvan!

LOVE IT

Galvan Torque Fly Reel

Galvan Torque Review 2021
Amazing service and amazing reel. I caught more than a hundred Coho salmon in 6 days of fishing this reel and the performance was pure perfection. Several fish had me into the backing, but most were eventually brought to hand. What a reel! Thanks Stillwater.
