The Galvan Drag System

The drag system is made from stainless steel, and delrin. A delrin disc is used as the brake mechanism. It is sandwiched between stainless steel surfaces to cause smooth, constant drag pressure in any setting. The spool is riding on two stainless steel ball-bearings to insure smoothness as you retrieve line.

The spool has two pins on the bottom that drop into the stainless steel ring.

Turning the spool one way will allow the spring inside the stainless steel ring (clutch) to turn freely; the other way will engage the drag.

It is a simple design, but very effective. All Galvan reels utilize the same drag system.

Direction Reversal
The retrieve direction of the reel is changed by first removing the spool. Then rotate the spindle until the bottom of the spiral groove on the spindle lines up with the corresponding groove on the lower portion of the drag unit.

Finally, simply lift the clutch ring off the spindle, flip it upside down and replace it, making sure that the pin on the inside of the clutch ring slides down the spiral groove on the spindle and drag unit. The direction of retrieve is now reversed.
