A Galvan Brookie fly reel with a Wulff line on it - Galvan has its own style and the “Galvan” look has always been sleek with functional design leading to some of the most aesthetically pleasing fly reels around. The Brookie might well be the new standard bearer for the prototypical Galvan look. Beauty aside, it is the simplistic design and functionality that are the true foundation of this great reel. I ditched my spring and pawl reels with the advent of the first disc drag reels to hit the market. There was too much upside to an adjustable, low starting inertia drag that actually slowed a running fish. Most of my friends and myself went all in on the new technology. But things go full circle and modern reel technology and material have been integrated perfectly in Galvan’s take on the classic spring pawl design.
