We know how great the Galvan Torque reels are after seeing how well the Galvan T-8 did in our 8-weight reel shootout.  The T-8 scored well in nearly every category, and was an easy choice for our “best buy” 8-weight saltwater reel.  We knew the Galvan T-5 was going to bring some serious competition, and I don’t think any of us was surprised when we added up the figures and saw that it cleaned everyone!
