Features -

• 6061 - All of our reels and spools are impeccably machined from T6 solid bar stock, aircraft grade aluminum. T6 is a class of 6061 aluminum that is tempered to significantly increase its strength.
• EZ Grip - Like every part of our reels, handle design is important to us. Through our years of research and development we know that handles with a concave or outward taper perform the best. All five of our contoured Delrin® handles are large and easy to grab and crank on. One does not need to look down to locate them; the hand is intuitively drawn to them.
• low COF - Galvan reels feel smooth both when a fish is taking line as well as when line is retrieved. This is a result of the reel having a very low startup inertia, which is low coefficient friction or the "transition from nothing to something, or no fish to fish on".
• MicroTune - Our large drag knobs are regarded as the top of their class, not just for their size and comfort but also for providing the most precise, super-fine drag adjustment on the market.
• Water Lock Hub
• Grip Drag System
• T² - All of our reels and spools are Type T2 anodized and incorporate minimal material points of contact making them corrosion resistant and saltwater safe.
• Retrieve - Our reels use fewer, much stronger parts to simplify the process and enable changing the direction of line retrieve without the use of any tools. It's as easy as inverting the pawl, which is held in place by a stainless steel retention ring.
