Galvan Grip Fly Reel 5wt Clear/Blue Hub
Galvan Grip Fly Reel 5wt Clear/Blue Hub, Grip fly reels are designed for those that desire a fully sealed drag system for the most extreme conditions. They have the same heavy duty, clean cut construction that Torque and Rush series reels have become known for, only with a few sweet additions. To start, 2 Hybrid ceramic ball bearings and even more carbon fiber have been incorporated, adding to the silky smooth drag that all Galvan users are accustomed to. A watertight, easy to access hub has also been added encasing the entire drag system, leaving only anodized aluminum exposed to the elements. The new quick turn knob allows for a super quick spool release as well as easy access to the Drag System, and the Monster grip handle provides assured accessibility. Features Include:Machined from T6 solid bar stock, aircraft grade aluminum. T6 is a class of 6061 aluminum that is tempered to significantly increase its strengthL.A.D. stands for Large Arbor Design.Low inertia on startup is intended to save light tippets, relative to the size of the outfit you are using and the size fish you are hunting.Galvan microTune drag adjustment enables quick, precise adjustments to your drag when playing a hot fish.The Galvan push button spool release mechanism is intuitively simplistic and elegantly efficient.The Torque drag system is the backbone of the Galvan line of reels and widely recognized for its smooth reliable action and subdued, unobtrusive single pawl click.Our contoured, machined counter-balance weights add a nice accent to the reel's design and blend aesthetically with its symmetry. Functionally the weight of the counter-balance is perfectly measured to precisely match the weight of the handle for smooth spool retrieval and wobble-free rotation.All of our reels and spools are Type T2 anodized and incorporate minimal material points of contact making them corrosion resistant and saltwater safe.
