Product Reviews

Review: Gorge Fly Shop is great to work with. Had the reel in a couple of days along with a free fly line of my choice. Can’t beat it. Got this reel to go on my G.Loomis NRX+ 6wt. Great match up. Really nice quality reel.

Review: Gorgeous reel. Top quality reel. The drag is the best part of this reel. Love it.

Review: I really like this reel. The anodized color selection is very nice. I'm usually a traditional looking reel kind of guy, but I went way out of my comfort zone and got this one in orange to match the reels seat and wraps on my Scott Radian and glad I did. Drag is excellent. I know some folk dont like that it takes lots of turns, but that is a positive for me. Kind of gives it an infinite adjustment feel to it. Gorge made it a good deal with the free line offer. I was originally going to get a Brookie, but when you figured in the $90 benefit of the line (wasnt an offer on the Brookie), they werent that far apart.

Review: My purchase of this reel was fantastic! The staff at Gorge Fly Shop are friendly and gives outstanding customer service. The order was processed almost immediately, great experience!. The reel performed as expected!I will continue buying from this shop!

Review: Solid reel. Smooth drag, more than enough drag for a 5wt. Gorge Fly shop always has a great selection of what ever you need. A very knowledgeable staff to help answer your questions. Great communication and fast shipping

Review: The Gorge Fly Shop has been a wonderful resource to me and other members of the Long Beach Casting Club that have mostly gone to Corkers. I recently purchased a pair of waist high G3 waders which turned out to be a little short. No problem, I contacted the shop, sent them back and had the correct size for a trip to the Lower Owens last weekend. I highly recommend a Gorge Fly Shop for the personal service rather than a big box website.

Review: I had a good idea what reel I wanted but I called the shop and had a great conversation with one of the sales people on the brand of reel and the right type of line to order with it. No pressure - just great service. I'll order again here for sure!!!

Review: I recently purchased the Torque reel, both because of its exceptional reviews and for the unprecedented deal including a high-end line. My few questions were answered clearly and quickly by the shop staff and delivery was prompt. I definitely will purchase again from Gorge Fly Shop

Review: I've never owned a Galvan product before. I've had a Bauer reel. I own a couple of Lamson reels that I absolutely love. When I was looking for a 10wt reel for my G Loomis Asquith 13'6 8wt, one of the suggestions John @ GFS made was Galvan. To be honest, I was eyeballing another Lamson, which John admitted made very nice reels. But, the one I was looking at was very light and might not balance my rod too well. So, looking at the options, and knowing the quality of Galvan, that is what I bought, along with an extra spool. And, I'll tell you what, Galvan makes one heck of a reel!!! The Torque 10wt balance my rod perfectly. Because the reel was backordered for 10 days or so. And, me being impatient, I called up Galvan to see if it could ship faster, (don't tell GFS-lol). The woman who answered was super nice and willing to see what, and if, I had any options. A day later she called, but I was over my impatience and was ok with it shipping normal method. My point is their customer service is great. Just like Gorge Fly Shop.

Review: Recently bought the Galvan Torque 6 from Gorge Fly Shop. Online purchase was easy and included a wide selection of backing and fly line. I received a call from the shop to choose another backing color. The gentleman on the phone was helpful as he talked me through the options and confirmed my fly line selection. The shop prepared and shipped my purchase quickly. I will definitely do business with them again in the future.

Review: Just ordered a reel from the gorgefly shop. It wasn’t available with the color I wanted so they called me and asked if I would mind waiting a couple weeks which was fine with me. Now it arrived and what a wonder reel to buy thanks Gorge Fly Shop for making my order the way I planned it to be thanks also for helping me select the line too. I will keep you in mind and visit you live when all this pandemic is over. Thanks again Karrie

Review: Galvan torque is the best reel I have personally ever used. Can't imagine needing anything more than this reel has to offer.

Review: I was recently in the market for a reel. I couldn’t decide brands. I contacted gorge fly shop which turned out to be a great decision. The staff there answered my questions about different brands and made the experience pleasurable. They were extremely responsive to my questions by email. I bought from them and the product was shipped quickly. I will be back in the future. Thanks for your help and great service.

Review: Can't get any better. Friendly and competent service, no mistakes, low prices and quick shipment, even to Europe. Well done!

Review: I am a long time fly fisherman (over 50 years) I own and have owned a lot of equipment. Galvan reels are better than most, and unless you’re willing to spend 3 or 4 times more, for not much more, they are the right choice. I own 5 Galvans.
