To make a long story short. I bent a Galvin spool by droping it. It started to bind on the frame, so off to the Galvin shop I go. Meet Marcus Galvin in the parking lot, He took a look at the reel and said you got a bent spool, Do you have a few minutes. Come on in a tour the shop (very impressive what a small operation can turn out.) A few minutes later he appeared with a brand new spool. Said sorry can't replace the backing we dont stock it. I said hay that fine what do I owe you? The reply was nothing. Its covered by the warrenty. What I buy another Galvin, you bet. It was a pleasure dealing with them. If any of you are in Sonora area during the week stop in and check out Galvin Reel Company. Their doors are allways open to the fly fisher people. :P

I was their first dealer in the world.

It is a very special all family run business.

They make some very fine reels.
