The new Galvan Swing Reel has a rock solid feel. The full cage frame and solid back are ideal for spey outfits. We love Galvan Reels, and the Galvan Swing Reel is no exception. The Swing was designed with two handed rods in mind but it features a sealed hub design that works in both fresh and saltwater situations.
The Galvan Swing Reel has a mid arbor spool with u-shaped arbor perfect for efficiently managing a range of spey lines. Swing Reels feature 3 pawl drag engagement, and extra large handle, easy right to left conversion, sealed hub, easy spool removal, carbon fiber drag, type 2 saltwater safe anodization, and minimal start up inertia. The Swing is available in 5 sizes to cover trout spey to big salmon spey, line weights 2-10wt. A super attractive aspect of the Swing Reel is that it is made in California by craftsman who have made top quality reels for years and years. We are really dealing with a proven entity priced comparatively low for a USA made reel. If a new reel for your two hander is needed take a hard look at the Swing it's a fantastic fly reel.
