The Galvan Torque Tournament fly reel series can be summed up in two words - BRUTAL and INSANE !!
These reels have been designed explicitly to have the stopping power needed to manage some of the worlds strongest fish, including Yellowfin Tuna, Dorado and Billfish. Carrying a manufacturer recommended retail price of between $600-$800 (we often have some listed for cheaper below) this reel is definitely aimed at the crazy big gamefish angler - we all know who we are.
It has a very large arbor design, and is machined from 6061 barstock aluminum.
The extremely smooth and immensely powerful drag system is constructed from stainless steel, a self-lubricating HPV bushing, and Ertalyte - a high-tech space-age thermoplastic material that is both heat resistant and wear resistant.
It has been built to withstand the harshest of saltwater fishing environments.
