As innovative as it was when first introduced in 1999, yet with continual refi nements, the Open Back Large Arbor reel remains the gold standard for light-weight, smooth-action performance. The Open Back reel incorporates a large arbor to dramatically increase retrieve speed, thus reducing drag tension and those unpleasant “long range releases” from broken tippets. In addition it offers the following features:

  • Silky smooth compression disc drag system
  • Protects the finest of tippets
  • 2 stainless steel ballbearings
  • Silent retrieve and quiet, pleasing outgoing click
  • Easy left to right hand conversion
  • Push button quick-release spool
  • Counter-balanced spool
  • Fully machined from 6061 bar-stock aluminum
  • Available in Black and Green anodized finishes
  • Five sizes: from 2 wt. through 6 wt. lines
  • 100% designed, manufactured and assembled in the USA by the Galvan Family
