GALVAN Rush 6 Reel
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 fishing fly angler can dish out.
Increasing the size of the arbor does several things. Line is stored in large coils, and so has less memory. More importantly, the larger arbor diameter and increased reel width on the Galvan Rush dramatically increases retrieve speed. Line is picked up much more rapidly than with a conventional spool. Finally, on a long running fish, a conventional reel will spin faster and faster as more and more line is taken out. The resulting increase in drag is often enough to pop a light tippet. With a wide, big arbor spool, drag tension remains almost constant as more line and backing are pulled from the reel, thus reducing the chances of breaking off a good fish.
Fully machined from 6061 bar-stock aluminum, and anodized to a semi-gloss black finish, both the one-side frame and push button, quick release spool on the Galvan Rush are fully ventilated for light weight. The spool on the reel is counter-balanced for wobble-free rotation and features a contoured delrin handle. 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.
