Free fly line, backing and spooling with the purchase of a Galvan Standard Fly Reel! Your reel will arrive ready to fish; professionally spooled with a free fly line and backing, and set to your preferred retrieval direction. You can also upgrade your fly line to achieve the perfect setup for your fishing destination. If you want to substitute for a different fly line or have any questions, please contact us. Please allow a couple of days for reel assembly and shipping. 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. Since its introduction to the market in 1994, Galvan has steadily gained a reputation as a quality piece of equipment that will hold up to any kind of abuse that a hard-fly angler can dish out. All Galvan Standard series reels are available in semi-gloss black, green finish with stainless steel or brass accents. The green reel is not pictured.

Micron backing The Galvan Standard Series Drag System The Drag system is made from stainless steel and Ertalyte (a state-of-the-art, heat and wear-resistant thermoplastic unlike anything else on the reel market.) The Ertalyte disc is used as a brake mechanism. It is sandwiched between stainless steel surfaces to cause smooth, constant drag pressure in any setting. The spool is riding on two stainless steel ball-bearings to insure smoothness as the fish takes line. The spool has two pins on the bottom that drop into the stainless steel ring. Turning the spool one way will allow the spring inside the stainless steel ring (clutch) to turn freely; the other way will engage the drag. It is a simple design, but very effective. The Standard and Open Back reels utilize the same drag system. The Galvan Warranty Galvan Fly Reels carry a lifetime warranty covering all parts and workmanship under normal use and condition. This warranty provides that the Galvan Reels will be repaired or replaced at no charge to the original owner. |
