Galvin Swing Series Fly Reels

The Galvan Swing Series Fly Reel blends classic reel design with modern Galvan performance. Developed with Spey fishing in mind, the Swing is built to balance longer two-handed rods while remaining versatile enough for a range of applications.

The Swing features Galvan’s proven Grip-style drag system with 3-pawl drag engagement, a carbon-fiber drag surface, and minimal startup inertia. Its full-cage housing helps prevent line from escaping between the frame and spool, while the classic solid-back construction adds weight and durability for proper balance on two-handed setups.

A mid-arbor, U-shaped spool design is engineered to efficiently manage a variety of Spey lines. Rugged 6061-T6 aluminum construction, a sealed hub, and an XL handle round out a reel built for years of hard use. 2026 CATALOG
