OPTi LINES
L O O P F LY TA C K L E & A D V E N T U R E S
The idea behind the Adapted line is to simplify the fishing, make it more efficient and thus more fun. The extensive line system covers nearly all depths of fishing. By using an ordinary running line for underhand casting or the new, tapered Spey running line for speycasting, the Adapted system also comes forward as the only system designed for different casting styles, or rather different fishing situations. A new lowstretch core gives you better casting and hooking capabilities. To make the worlds most variable double-hand line system even more variable we have added longer tip sections – Spey fronts. This will make it possible to make the head + front approximately 1,5 meters longer. With the different fronts – short or long – heads can be mixed through different AFTM scales to be suited exactly for the fishing needs. All lines come looped and ready to fish.

OPTi DISTANCE WF
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 7.1-9.1 m depending upon line class.
OPTi Distance is the line for long distance casting. The long belly and adjusted taper give a fine balance between delicate presentation and very long reach. This line was developed for fishing situations where distance is critical to success.

OPTi FLY VEST The vest is a classic detail. But do not think this a relic from the past. Opti Fly Vest is a modern multifunctional vest, made from lightweight nylon. With eleven pockets you will have space for all the gadgets a fly fisher needs. The back pocket easily swallows a thermos and more. The shoulders are covered by thin neoprene that makes even a heavy loaded vest comfortable. Two retractors and two straps, under the cover of the left pocket, keep track of all your tools. The vest comes in light green and orange. You can remove the shoulder coverage on hot days. When taken of the vest is easily tucked away in your bag, but this will not happen very often. Item no.

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. Workhorse design that will not let you down in the heat of the battle, regardless of your catch.

GÖRAN ANDERSSON SIGNATURE SERIES “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.” Göran Andersson Rod Designer TECHNICAL FEATURES

QUATTRO TIP SPEY WF The new improved Quattro Tip Spey Line offers the discerning salmon angler the opportunity to optimise the presentation of the fly by quickly changing the 14ft attachable sinking tips depending on water depth, water temperature and fishing situation. The new lines comes supplied with four interchangeable tips of different densities with the head lengths of the various line sizes remaining the same as the hugely popular original lines. The attachable tips have each been enhanced with an integrated welded loop to allow easy loop to loop connection of the leader material. The lines also benefit from an improved back taper and thinner diameter “ridged” running line to minimise friction as the line shoots through the rod rings to maximising distance on the forward delivery. All lines are supplied with 4 tips: Floating Medium sinking (3.0”/ sec) Clear intermediate (1.5”/ sec) Fast sinking ( 6.0”/ sec) ITEM NO.

SLINGSHOT DOUBLE-HAND RODS With today's modern fishing the line is not always merely cast out – in many cases it's slung away to the target. With this thinking in mind we developed a rod series that lives up to the name "Slingshot". With a deep action that becomes better and better the more the rod is loaded and a tip fast and powerful enough to handle even the heaviest sinking lines, this rod is a pleasure to fish with. The Slingshot Serie´s unique action makes it equally suitable for all levels of expertise. The Slingshot was developed by our tournament casters and professional instructors Trond and Knut Syrstad.
TECHNICAL FEATURES Matte dark grey finish. High grade cork handle. Three pin black aluminum LTS reel-seat. SIC stripping guides and snake guides. Rod model marked on each rod section. Dot marks on ferrules for correct fit of each rod section. Comes in matching cloth bag and pentagon tube. MODEL
