loop fly reelsloop fly reels

Ourreels have always been leading the way. They still do. For more than twenty years we have been pro-

ducing large arbour reels. With the new Opti Fly Reel we entered a new era. This reel has an even larger arbour and a narrower, uniquely V-shaped spool. This means a faster retrieve and less coils on your line. When you retrieve the line it automatically falls into place, without any help from your fingers. Of course the Opti reel has our silky smooth and powerful Power Matrix drag system. The drag system, which is totally waterproof, saltwater resistant and with the smoothest available start-up, is also used in the upgraded Evotec G4 and the Classic-reels. Welcome to the future. It begins here.

optiOPTi reels come in sizes from Creek to Big. Each model is optimized for a specific fishing. Creek and DryFly, with a silksmooth drag that handles the thinnest leader. The Runner, which is built on the same principles as its big brother Speedrunner, is the obvious choice for light double-hands or slightly heavier single-hands. Speedrunner, with an inset handle and extra diameter, for speedsters. Megaloop comes with dual braking plates and a super sturdy construction so as to tackle the really big fish. And as king of the hill: OPTi Big. With an absolutely huge drag system it is designed to stop anything. The OPTi reel will be your best, and most beautiful, friend for life.

multiWe have always been known for designing the highest quality fly reels on the market. So when we set out to create a series of “diecast” reels, we knew they had to be built to the same standards as our other great reels. In other words, they needed to be completely waterproof and offer the same Power Matrix Drag System that is incorporated in our other machined reels. The inter-workings of the Multi reels are of the highest standards, and when our first prototypes started arriving, we knew we had accomplished our goal. The Loop Multi fly reels will last a life time, and will be offered in a price range that will allow anglers of all walks of life to own a fly reel that we feel proud enough to put the Loop name on.

+ As with our Opti series of reels, the handle is positioned more towards the center of the spool, which allows faster line retrieve and more room when hand palming is desired.

+ The counter balance incorporates a leader holder.+ The drag knob has been reset, so it does not catch your fly line while making a cast.+ Spool designed with a V-shape for optimal fly line spooling.+ Conical shaped rubber handle that allows fly line to easily slip off and not get tangled in.+ Simple, quick spool-change.+ Workhorse design that will not let you down in the heat of the battle, regardless of your catch.+ Designed in Sweden and built with specifically designed components crafted in Sweden.+ Outgoing click.

classicBeneath the stunning looks of the new Classic fly reel is the ultra-modern Power Matrix Drag System. This monstrous braking system will subdue the strongest of fish in the harshest conditions. The completely waterproof drag system benefits from a pronounced ’click’ that signals “fish on” through your ears into your every vein. Fishing for all senses. The Classic is completely corrosion resistant and benefits from a new ergonomic handle design with integrated leader retainer on the counterbalance. Available in either left or right-hand wind, each reel is individually numbered and presented in a handcrafted leather case. With its old world classic looks and ultra-modern braking power, you will get the best of both worlds. We call it tradition with an attitude.

evotec clw & clwcEvotec CLW is totally made from composite, except the reel foot that is in aluminium. This reel is simply made for tough conditions. Just as its big brother, Evotec G3, the CLW has a counter-weight for better balance and smoother function as the fish runs. Given price, form, and the silky-smooth brake, this reel is a clear winner. Speaking of clear, the CLW is also available in a transparent version, the CLWC. The material in this is flexible and almost unbreakable. These reels are indestructible and the function is ordinary Loop – absolutely remarkable! And one more thing, be tough on them, they love it.

evotec g4This upgraded powerhouse of a reel contains the strongest and smoothest braking system that you will ever likely get your hands on. The G4 is also equipped with an ergonomically designed, non-friction winding handle, which prevents the fly line from getting entangled on it. The counter-weight features an o-ring for attaching the tippet when not fishing. This reel is your best bet when the fish of a lifetime takes your fly. That we guarantee.

After a year of testing sample after sample we are finally pleased to introduce these two brand new rods. The rods will work equally well with short heads (typical for Underhand and Skagit casting) or longer spey lines. The tip recovery is extremely precise and the butt power never gives up. These models feature our new, patented Balanced reel seat which is 50% longer than traditional reel seats and allows the angler to choose position of the reel, balancing the rod against the weight of the line and the casting technique.

OPTI StillwaterThe Stillwater rods are casting machines with a range that will send shivers down your spine. These rods are designed for lakes, reservoirs and saltwater. On stillwaters you do not need the same mobility as you do on a stream. That is why the Stillwater series has a stiffer and more vigorous action. You can then better control the size and speed of your line loop. Opti Stillwater is action and feeling in harmony.

a modern fly fisher you should have high demands on your equipment. For us this is obvious, as obvious as Loop

rods should be of the highest standard. We would never put our brand on ready made blanks. We make our own rods with pride and with a knowledge that comes from a long experience in flyfishing. Our new fly rod series are all made from a new technology. They are built to last and their action will surprise you. But most importantly, they are fishing tools with a feeling you will love, no matter what type of fly fishing you prefer. Each series has its own special qualities. There is a rod for every flyfisher and every situation. Welcome to the world of Loop fly rods.”

Perfecting the underhand cast requires the right back-cast and being able to anchor the line and leader in order to build up energy in your rod. Our new Opti double-hand rods have been designed to allow anglers the most consistent, forgiving and comfortable underhand casting stroke possible. Our previous top-series, Grey Line, was described as “rods that follow your mind”. Our new Opti-rods do the thinking for you.

With a more flexible material and a new construction that gives the rod a deep, powerful action with a short recovery stroke. The Multi series was designed using new graphite technology that creates an extremely light, yet amazingly strong fly rod.

The action gives you that little extra time to coordinate the cast. Multi is the rod for you who want to tighten your loops and improve your performance when you present your fly. We have spent years developing this new technology, but what it means to you is simple, “Longer casts, more accuracy and much less effort then ever before”. If you don’t believe us try one and you will see and feel the difference”.

"For many years I’ve been asked to make rods under my signature and finally these are available after long and arduous designing, testing, redesigning and retesting. They are manufactured in the same fibre and with the same technology as the Grey Line Series, but with a character all their own. These rods have a bit deeper action that works through the entire grip when fully loaded, but also have a short recovery that allows for a quick and early stop. They are easy-to-cast and meant for all flyfishers, but will at the same time give the technically competent caster the ability to push the envelope and achieve more than any other rods available. I hope you will experience the same enjoyment and satisfaction from the Signature Series.”

OPTi Creek float The Opti Creek line could be deemed the nemesis of vigilant fish. The line is a development of the Opti Stream-line and has a somewhat shorter head for better feeling and presentation. You get the advantage over the fish. Not the other way around. For running water, this is the line you need.Float WF2-WF4 . Length: 15m

OPTi Stream float Opti Stream is precisely as the name indicates: for flowing water. The new taper is designed for extreme ease in both underhand and overhand casting. Easy to pickup and shoot overhand and yet perfectly balanced for tight, underhand casts. Head length varies between 7,1-9,1m depending upon line class.Float WF2-WF9. Length: 27m

OPTi Stillwater floatThis line is designed for lake fishing. The new taper casts loong and is designed to set the fly down with precision at enormous distance. Head length varies from 9,1-10,4 m depending upon line class.Float WF3-WF9. Length: 30m

MULTi Single-Hand and Double-HandThese lines handle just about everything. Whether it’s heavy-duty fly chucking on the coast or sneaky spring creek fishing, the Multi delivers. Furthermore, it is an unbeatable line for windy conditions. This is the line for brutal double hauling and for handling big heavy flies. The HiDensity Core ensures that the energy loss is minimal, making the line fly like a rocket through the wind.

classic speyDesigned by World Team Speycasting Champion Eoin Fairgrieve, the new range of Classic Spey Lines have been developed specifically to enhance and maximise all levels of casting ability from novice through to advanced speycasters. Incorporating Loop’s new OCR (Optimum Casting Range) taper design, these new lines allow seamless transfer of kinetic energy during the casting cycle, allowing greater water coverage and superior fly presentation when fish are taking close to the surface.Each Classic Spey floating line is designed and manufactured to unprecedented standards and benefits from cutting-edge braided core and line coating technology. The combination of these factors results in a Spey line, which not only greatly reduces friction on contact with the rod rings, but also with the Classic’s low stretch core, allows increased sensitivity for hooking fish.Float, Float/ Intermediate Head and Float/ Sink III Head WF9-10 - WF11-12.

This for sure is a line for big nasties, be it fish or fly.Low Float with Low Float & Sink IV fronts WF8Head length 9.1m. Total length: 27m

Thefly line is your hotline to the fish. This goes for all fishing, but in fly fishing the line is in high extent the

tool for effective fishing. In fly fishing, presentation is the name of the game. Long, short, deep, shallow, fast, slow, angled, upstream, downstream, overhandcast, underhandcast… Combine the right line with the right gear in the right environment and you have a sensible instrument that gives you advantage over the fish. Different conditions, gear and casting technique requires carefully selected lines. With different tapers, lengths and weights you have a multitude of precise tools at your hands. The line is your prolonged nerve-path to the fish so why leave it to chance? This is why we have a broad enough selection to fit your casting style, your rod and your special needs. In the end it is all about you outsmarting the fish.

adapted double-handTo make the worlds most variable line system even more variable we have added longer line fronts called Spey Fronts. This will make it possible to make the head plus front approximately 1.5 meters longer. The different fronts and heads can be mixed through different AFTM-scales, to be suited exactly for the fishing situation or place. We will sell all parts separately, labeled with length, weight and density. There will also be a “big box” available, including three pieces of all heads, fronts and spey fronts.

lts adapted pro NEW!

This is the double hand line concept for the professional caster and fisherman. Made with efficient fishing in mind it comes with color coded loops and three different fronts in three densities. In addition the line singles itself out by having a long front taper with a perfectly matched belly that gives the line, regardless of sink grade, extra stability, forward drift and extreme distance. This is truly the line for those who want to fish effectively and really whish to reach all the fish. Low float belly. Low float, intermediate and sink III fronts #9-10, 10-11, 11-12 . Color coded loops. Low stretch core. Length: 12.4-14.25m

OPTi Running LineThis floating running line is the correct and best choice for fishing with shooting heads. It provides the correct resistance for the best control. Low-Stretch core and integrated loop connector. Float 0.029”, 0.032”, 0.035”dia. Length: 30m

OPTi Spey Running LineThe Opti Spey Running Line is a pioneering new concept in running line development. Until now all running lines have been manufactured with a standard diameter. The Opti Spey Running Line has an integrated back taper, which connects to the shooting head to transform the line system from a standard underhand set-up to a short-head spey line. A flexible addition for any underhand angler, allowing the caster a choice of spey presentation techniques with a shooting head system. Low-Stretch core and integrated loop connector.Float #6-8, 7-8, 8-9, 9-10, 10-11, 11-12. Length: 30m
