Galvan Torque T8 – Burnt Orange

The Galvan Torque fly reel is the strong backbone of the Galvan reel series, which has been on the market since 2004 and was last equipped with a newly revised braking system in 2021 – the Torque braking system! The brake system of the Torque is known for the extremely smooth start-up and fine adjustment. This ensures that even fast escapes of strong fish can be intercepted without causing the leader to snap. The system is based on a disc brake, which is made of thermoplastic and carbon and is virtually maintenance-free due to the latest technology. The same applies to the inner barrel of the reel, as here not as usual a ball bearing was installed, but a state-of-the-art High Pressure Velocity plastic bushing. The bushing completely replaces the bearing and has the great advantage that it cannot rust and rotates almost frictionless. Fishing in the rain or even immersion in water is thus less problematic, unlike some other reels. The frame and spool of the Torque fly reel from Galvan were designed using Maximum Porting technology. A process that uses the latest CAD and CNC technology to determine the smallest possible weight without losing stability. This makes the fly reel very light, yet robust and also equipped with an extremely powerful braking system.

The Galvan Torque fly reel a timeless, extremely powerful and almost maintenance-free fly reel that convinces on the stream, on the coast, as well as in hard use on the flats. State-of-the-art technology meets a traditional, lightweight design.

Technologies

• Maximum Porting
  Maximum Porting at Galvan stands for perfection from two worlds! Minimum weight with maximum stability. Galvan attaches great importance to the robustness and stability of a fly reel, but also knows that in today’s world this does not always have to be heavy constructions. With the latest CAD technology and precise calculations, any unnecessary weight that does not contribute to the function or stability of the reel is removed!
• L.A.D
  Large Arbor Design. A fast line pick-up is a crucial point in the drill, when you have to get the slack line onto the reel in the shortest possible time in a controlled manner. At the same time, of course, the reel must not be too big or too heavy, so Galvan always finds a good compromise with precise calculations.
• Low-Cof
  Galvan’s Low-Cof technology is based on the brake system and ensures that the start-up resistance of the brake is extremely gentle during pull-off. This has the ingenious advantage that even the thinnest leaders do not break when a fish flees.
• EZ-Grab
  The EZ-Grab design of the Galvan reel handles has a concave shape that thickens outward. The advantage of this shape is that when cranking hard, the guide hand cannot slip outward and you keep the upper hand in the drill.
• MicroTune
  The brake’s microTune adjustment system features a single ball bearing that meets small dimples machined into the reel frame to hold the desired brake setting securely in place. The comfortably felt indentations allow for the finest incremental adjustment of the brake and reduce the likelihood of accidental adjustment while fishing.
• R-Retrieve
  Easily and quickly change from left to right hand without the use of tools.
• T2
  All of our reels and spools are T2 type anodized with minimal material contact points making them corrosion resistant and saltwater safe.
• TruBalance
  The weight of the counterweight is perfectly balanced with the weight of the handle to ensure smooth spool retrieval and wobble-free rotation.
