Our
reels have always been leading the way. They still do. For more than twenty years we have been producing 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.
multi We 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.
classic Beneath 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.

+
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.

OPTi 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.

evotec clw & clwc Evotec 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.

As
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.”

OPTI Stillwater The 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.

opti power spey 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.
MODEL
OPTi Power As the traveling angler knows size does matter, so we have designed and built the five-piece Opti Powerrod for the discriminating world traveler. Whether you are headed to the Florida Keys in search of the Silver King, or slipping into a bush plane in search of giant trout, these five-piece rods will fit right in to your carryon luggage. We did not compromise on the quality of these rods and you will find the deep, robust action an absolute pleasure to cast for hours on end. After all we didn’t build these great rods to sit in the corner of your fly tying room.

OPTi Coast The Opti Coast was designed to handle the windy conditions found on the coast. With a strong, crisp and quick action the rod will cut through the wind and allow you to reach those hard to get to rips. Looking for tight loops in the wind? Then the Opti Coast is the rod for you.

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.

loop fly rods
multi 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.
Adventure G3 Single & Double-Hand The rod series to grow together with. All our Adventure G3-rods are very easy to use and have an effective medium-action that manages all types of casts. The action rhymes well with our other series. That makes it easy for you to move on when you wish to upgrade your flyfishing. Adventure G3-rods are good value for money. Everything from blank to cork-handle is of the highest Loop-standard.
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”. MODEL

"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

The
fly 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.
opti wf 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.

This one will be a winner on the coast and for speeding up flies in rivers. The extra slow intermediate will just hang just below the surface and will not make any “traces”. It will hang deep enough in streams so as much water as possible at the highest speed will make it possible to fish the fly fast – perfect for salmon. Its Hi-Dense core will also handle bigger flies, like pike flies, easy. This is truly a Multi line, with multiple possibilities. X-slow Intermediate WF5-WF9. Length: 30m
classic spey Designed 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. Head length: 20.5m. Total length: 36m
