Galvan The Grip Fly Reel clear with blue

Galvan reels impress with the latest technology, without losing sight of the traditional and time-tested features of a fly reel. Because Galvan is convinced that in an industry where technology often overshadows tradition, a mix of both is the best option for a high-quality, functional fly reel.

The Grip. The name emphasizes one of the central features of this high-end fly reel from Galvan: the extra-large handle. It supports you in keeping a cool head and full control over the fish even in the most hectic situations during action-packed saltwater fishing. The black handle with its ergonomic shape feels fantastic in hand and allows for controlled and secure retrieval of the fly line. On the back, an extra-large brake knob provides optimum grip for quick and precise adjustment of the powerful brake. Speaking of brakes: 'The Grip' fly reels feature a fully sealed braking system, making them an excellent choice for demanding fly fishers in tropical environments. Aside from that, Galvan's flagship maintains the same robust, clean construction that the Torque and Rush series have become known for - just with a few nice additions! Two hybrid ceramic ball bearings and even more carbon fibers have been incorporated to enhance the silky-smooth drag that all Galvan users are accustomed to. Additionally, a waterproof, easily accessible hub has been added, enclosing the entire braking system so that only anodized aluminum is exposed to the elements.

In short: the new quick-release knob allows for super-fast spool release and easy access to the braking system, while the monster grip ensures secure control. Galvan's The Grip is a timeless, extremely powerful, and robust fly reel that excels both in tropical saltwater and on the Baltic Coast or when targeting predators like pike and others. As expected from Galvan, here, state-of-the-art technology meets a traditional, lightweight large arbor design that's hard to take your eyes off. And of course, like all other reels from the American premium manufacturer, this flagship model from Galvan is handcrafted in California.

Technologies

• Maximum Porting
  Maximum Porting at Galvan represents perfection from two worlds! Minimal weight with maximum stability. Galvan places high value on the robustness and stability of a fly reel but also understands that heavy constructions are not always necessary in today's time. Using state-of-the-art CAD technology and precise calculations, any excess weight that does not contribute to the function or stability of the reel is removed!

• L.A.D
  Large Arbor Design. Rapid line retrieval is a crucial point in the fight when you need to control the slack line onto the reel in the shortest time possible. At the same time, the reel must not become too large or too heavy, so Galvan always finds a good compromise through precise calculations.

• Low-Cof
  Galvan's Low-Cof technology is based on the braking system and ensures that the starting resistance of the brake during release is extremely smooth. This ingeniously prevents even the thinnest leaders from breaking during a fish's escape.

• EZ-Grab
  The EZ-Grab design of Galvan reel handles features a concave shape that thickens outward. The advantage of this shape is that during vigorous cranking, the guiding hand cannot slip outward, maintaining control during the fight.

• MicroTune
  The microTune adjustment system of the brake features a single ball bearing that engages with small recesses incorporated into the reel frame, securely holding the desired brake setting in position. The pleasantly palpable recesses allow for the finest incremental adjustment of the brake and reduce the likelihood of accidental adjustment during fishing.

• R-Retrieve
  Easy and quick switching from left to right hand without the use of tools.

• T2
  All Galvan reels and spools are Type T2 anodized, featuring minimal material contact points, making them corrosion-resistant and saltwater-proof.

• TruBalance
  The weight of the counterbalance is perfectly matched to the weight of the handle to ensure smooth spool retrieval and wobble-free rotation.

• 6061
  All Galvan reels and spools are flawlessly machined from solid T6 aircraft-grade aluminum. T6 is a class of 6061 aluminum that is hardened to significantly increase its strength.

• Torque Drag System
  The Torque drag system is the backbone of the Galvan reel series, widely known for its smooth, reliable action and the subtle, unobtrusive clicking of the individual pawls. It has an audible click when the line is pulled off the reel and retrieved, indicating to the angler any subtle adjustments that may need to be made during the fight.

• PBR
  The Galvan Push Button Release (PBR) mechanism for spool removal is intuitively simple and elegantly efficient. Removing the spool is literally child's play. With a light press of the button, the spool pops out of the frame, and with a slight click, a new spool is in place. No tools are required to remove the spool from the reel frame, and there are no parts that could be lost in the process.
