Galvan continues to offer the reel that started the tradition. The Standard is for the angler who prefers the classic styling and solid performance of a standard arbor reel. This moderately priced, high-quality reel is available in sizes for 2 through 6 weight rods and is salt water safe. The silent retrieve and quiet, pleasing outgoing click will make you feel like part of the river; no harsh clicking or clacking to echo off the canyon walls here. Changing retrieve direction on the Galvan is as easy as flipping over the clutch. This light, smooth, simply elegant reel has to be seen and felt to be appreciated. Since its introduction to the market in 1994, Galvan has steadily gained a reputation as a quality piece of equipment that will hold up to any kind of abuse that a hard-fly angler can dish out. All Galvan Standard series reels are available in semi-gloss black, green finish with stainless steel or brass accents.
