Torque Large Arbor Fly Fishing Reels
Introducing the Galvan Torque Large Arbor reel. Function, unique design, and quality: All the hallmarks of the Galvan tradition are represented in this completely new reel.
What's different about it? Everything.
From the rounded spool and frame rims, to the contoured counter balance, to the uniquely designed cutouts on the spool, frame, and drag knob, to the innovative new drag system, the Torque is clearly a step up in fly reel design.
The drag system for the Torque is composed of stainless steel and a state-of-the-art, heat- and wear-resistant thermoplastic unlike anything else on the reel market. It is completely salt water safe, and will continue to perform flawlessly under the harshest conditions from the flats and the blue water to the mountain streams and the coastal rivers.
Its unique design does not rely on ball bearings, but retains the smoothness of action that Galvan is known for. The ventilated drag knob is solidly detented for precise settings. Quiet clicks both in and out add to the distinctive style. It is easily interchangeable from right to left-hand retrieve and the highly ventilated spool and frame will balance nicely with the lightest of todays fly rods.
The Torque is available in Graphite Bronze and Black finishes. From the first sight, the hand is drawn to the reel. From the first spin of the spool, the quality becomes apparent. Does form follow function, or does function follow form? In the Torque, it all folds into one.

Spool Release
In order to release the spool from the frame of the reel, simply grasp the outside rim of the spool with thumb and middle finger. While pressing on the quick-release button in the center of the spool with your index finger, lift the spool out away from the frame.
To reverse the process and replace the spool on the frame, grasp the spool in the same manner, depress the quick-release button and gently return the spool to the frame. Give the spool a small twist and it will drop into place with a slight click, then release the button.
Direction Reversal
The retrieve direction of the reel is changed by first removing the spool from the frame. You then grasp the pawl (see figure) and gently pull it and the pawl spring out. Insert the pawl back into it's original slot with the arm pointing towards your desired direction, R right or L left. Trying not to bend out the pawl spring, gently place it back around the left right disc and pawl slots.
Lubrication
There is no need to lubricate the Torque & Rush Series reels, The bushing in the spools is self-lubricating.
Maintenance and Cleaning We recommend that you clean your reel every time after exposure to salt or alkali enviroments. To clean your reel, first loosen the drag all the way counterclockwise to the lowest setting and remove spool from frame. Soak both in fresh warm water. After saoking rinse both spool & frame thoroughly making sure the drag area gets a little extra attention. Inspect the pawl area on the frame and the gear area on the spool for dirt, grit, or build up. If found rinse a little more aggressively. Let the spool and frame air dry before replacing the spool back onto the frame and storing.
