Galvan Torque Extra Spools - Backing Included

I have been a fan of Galvan reels for about 15 years. My first model was the OB which I have on my 6wt. Recently I have purchase several Torque models for my 7wt and 8wt. I just got back from fishing for Tarpon on the Yukatan and the reel worked great. Super drag, great workmanship, and very smooth. Based on performance and price I think Galvan reels are the best value out there.

this extra galvan torque (t-5) spoot is worth for me to have another spared one for switching between wf6f (floating), wf6s3 (sinking) or wf6i (intermediate - half float and half sink) in middle of fly fishing.

1). push button spool release is simple pleasure friendly for me to switch the second spool.

2). arbor design looked funny in the picture on website. but i received the reel in person, it turned to become from ugly duckling to swan in my hand. spool has helped with drying backing more quickly plus the maximum strength-to-weight ratio.

3). smooth feeling is easy to grab and crank on & to counter-balance weigth for wobble-free rotation. it's corrosion resistant & saltwater safe.

4). drag knob is easy to microtune drag adjustment starting from 1 pound up plus max drag up to +15 pounds.

5). my x-mas wish list is having another extra galvan torque (t-10) spool.

First, I think all Galvan products are great. Galvan products are all upper tier but they are also mid priced. You get a lot for your dollar. I must have purchased 3 reels and as many extra spools with North Platte River Fly Shop and many other items to prepare for my first fly fishing trip. And, it has worked out wonderfully. They expedited everything to make sure I had what I needed before I departed for my trip. They carry great products and they offer great customer service. How much better can you get? I am now a loyal and dedicated customer and will continue to frequent their online shop. Thanks much!

I really like all the galvan products that I have. They seem to be very well made and with care. I love the extra spools so I can switch between floating and sinking lines very quickly. I also like the color option the offer. As far as the spool goes I got exactly what I wanted. I believe their reels to be fair priced especially when cared to other top end reels, I have bought cheaper reels that just don't compare, I was disappointed as soon as I got them. And if I'm traveling to go on a lifetime fishing trip I like to have equipment I know I can depend on.
