The unique Torque reel, the fourth series created by Boni, was the first reel released with our Torque drag system, now employed in all of our reels.
Its inception was in late 2002 with prototypes coming to life in 2003. After being tested, retested and modified, it was finally released to the public in 2004.
It won the 2004 Editor’s Choice in Fly Fish America and ranked #3 in Yellowstone Angler’s 8-wt reel shootout, beating a host of other reels in function and price. Its original style and unique porting solidified Galvan’s reputation as a leading innovator in the industry.

The visually striking appearance Torque reels is a result of unique cut-outs on the frame, spool, drag knob and reel foot.
This design is not only aesthetic but also structural as it significantly reduces the weight of the reel while maintaining strength and increasing rigidity.
Rounded rims on both spool and frame enhance durability to better withstand impact during extreme angling conditions.

At first glance, the hand is drawn to the reel and from the first crank of the contoured counter balanced spool, the reel’s quality is apparent.
It is a combination of efficiency and simplicity driven by function.
Less is more and cost is no exception as Torque reels retail at half the price of reels in its class.

Torque Series reels are saltwater safe and will perform flawlessly under the harshest conditions.
From remote alpine lakes to the saltwater flats, the highly ventilated spool and frame balance nicely with the lightest of today’s fly rods yet still compliment a modern big-game saltwater fly rod.
Torque - tough as nails and merges the technology of the future with the tradition of the past.
