We were thrilled when Galvan announced the release of the Swing! Built in sizes to accommodate rods from the tiniest Trout Spey on up to big guns 15' and beyond, they are full-cage with excellent backing capacity, smooth drags and a classic look. Another winner from Galvan!

The all-new Swing fly reel by Galvan blends tradition with innovation, tailored for spey fishing yet versatile enough for various applications. It features the renowned grip drag system, ensuring reliable performance and precise control in any condition. The reel's full cage housing and classic solid back not only enhance its weight for optimal balance but also contribute to its exceptional durability. Its mid-arbor spool, designed with a U-shaped arbor, is perfect for efficiently managing a range of spey lines. Crafted for simplicity and ruggedness, the Swing reel is built to endure and is destined to be a cherished tool for generations to come.

Features - 
  • 6061 - All of our reels and spools are impeccably machined from T6 solid bar stock, aircraft grade aluminum. T6 is a class of 6061 aluminum that is tempered to significantly increase its strength.
  • EZ Grip - Like every part of our reels, handle design is important to us. Through our years of research and development we know that handles with a concave or outward taper perform the best. All five of our contoured Delrin® handles are large and easy to grab and crank on. One does not need to look down to locate them; the hand is intuitively drawn to them.
  • low — COF - Galvan reels feel smooth both when a fish is taking line as well as when line is retrieved. This is a result of the reel having a very low startup inertia, which is low coefficient friction or the "transition from nothing to something, or no fish to fish on".
  • MicroTune - Our large drag knobs are regarded as the top of their class, not just for their size and comfort but also for providing the most precise, super-fine drag adjustment on the market.
  • Water Lock Hub
  • Grip Drag System
  • T² - All of our reels and spools are Type T2 anodized and incorporate minimal material points of contact making them corrosion resistant and saltwater safe.
  • Retrieve - Our reels use fewer, much stronger parts to simplify the process and enable changing the direction of line retrieve without the use of any tools. It's as easy as inverting the pawl, which is held in place by a stainless steel retention ring.

"Galvan being Galvan. Awesome reel!"

Brock on 10/22/2025 10:24:47 AM

Review: One of the best purpose made spey reel with an adjustable drag. If you're in the market for a new spey reel that will last you a lifetime, the Galvan Swing is the easy choice. Sealed drag, plenty of backing capacity, all wrapped up in a no frills all business aesthetic, sign me up!

"Galvan Schwiiiiiiiing 8/9 Spey Reel"

John G. on 2/27/2025 1:38:23 PM

Review: Sorry, couldn't resist! I got this reel and I love it. They don't give a backing capacity reference for it, but I put 200 yards of 30# Dacron on it, which is plenty, and it was perfect, leaving enough room for running line and Skagit head without being too full. I love the look, love the color, love the silky smooth drag, and I love the big handle! Highly recommend!!
