| The Open Back reel was introduced
to the market in March of 1999. The Open Back incorporates
a large arbor for a few reasons. First, the large
diameter on the Open Back dramatically increases
retrieve speed. Line is picked up much more rapidly
than with a conventional spool. Second, on a long
running fish, a conventional reel will spin faster
and faster as more and more line is taken out. The
resulting increase in drag is often enough to pop
a light tippet. With a large arbor spool, drag tension
remains almost constant as more line and backing
are pulled from the reel, thus reducing the chances
of breaking off a big fish. Finally, line is stored
in bigger loops, thus reducing the line coil memory
and those annoying loops that come off near the
bottom of a conventional spool.
Galvan Open Back reels incorporate all of the
outstanding features of the standard Galvan reel.
Available in the OB-1 (Open Back 1), OB-2, OB-3,
OB-4, OB-5. These reels feature the same incredibly
smooth action and drag as all Galvan reels. The
machining of the frame and spool reduces weight
and enables you to look through the middle of
the reel. The Open Back's spool and frame are
fully machined out of 6061 bar stock aluminum.
It has a quick-release spool that requires no
tools to change and is counter-balanced for wobble-free
rotation. Made of aluminum and stainless steel.
