Sealed Drag Large Arbor Performance

Galvan Grip Fly Reels are lightweight, large arbor fly reels built for anglers who want smooth drag performance, reliable line pickup, and saltwater-safe durability. With precision-machined construction, a fully sealed hub drag system, and ample backing capacity, the Grip is a strong choice for trout, steelhead, salmon, bass, and saltwater fly fishing.

One of the best values in saltwater-capable fly reels, the Galvan Grip offers a powerful drag, large arbor design, and the backing capacity needed for flats fishing, deep bluewater use, and hard-running freshwater species.

The Grip features Galvan's sealed hub drag design, offering a similar feel to the proven Torque drag system while adding a fully sealed hub that protects the drag unit from water, grit, and saltwater corrosion. Stunning in looks, design, and performance, the Grip is built to satisfy demanding anglers who need a reel they can trust in serious fishing conditions.

From the first crank of the contoured counterbalance spool, the Grip feels smooth, efficient, and purpose-built. Its large arbor design improves line pickup and line management, while the drag system delivers reliable pressure for light tippets, fast runs, and changing water conditions.
