FLY REELS
EVOTEC
This powerhouse of a reel contains the strongest and smoothest braking system that you will ever likely get your hands on. The Evotec 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. MODEL

FLY REELS
CLASSIC
The upgraded Classic is equipped with ventilated sideplates, and beneath this stunning looks 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 is vailable 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.
OPTi
Each OPTi reel is optimized for specific fishing applications. Creek and DryFly, with a silkysmooth 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-hand rods or slightly heavier single-hand rods. The new Strike shows up the best from two worlds: compact as the Runner but with the capacity of a heavy double-hand reel. A coming favorite for the heavy single-hand and the double-hand artillery! Speedrunner features an inset handle and extra diameter for speedsters. Megaloop comes with dual braking plates and a super sturdy construction for tackling really big fish. The king of the hill is the 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.

GÖRAN ANDERSSON
NEW 2014
signature series
With six all new models we are proud to launch the updated Göran Andersson series, now manufactured in 3M Powerlux™. 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.
CROSS S1 NEW 2014 travel series
With the new Cross S1 Travel Series, breaking the rod is the least of your worries. We encourage you to travel, discover new waters and be a pioneer; that's what we always did. When you are traveling, and has found the best lake or river far away from any tackle shop, you should not need to worry about your rod breaking or your equipment failing. This has been the mantra of Loop Tackle Design for generations now. That is why we use only the finest material, put together by the best people, so that you can focus on what really matters: Fishing!

Instead, we would rather ask you to try one because the only way to truly understand what we mean is to test one for yourself. NB. All Cross S1 models are also available as blanks.

BUILT WITH POWERLUX The Cross S1 and Göran Andersson Signature Series are built with 3M Powerlux™. The Composite features a revolutionary technology that contains nano-sized spheres of silica so small, they are able to flow between individual filaments of carbon fiber, creating a matrix of strength throughout the entire composite. The resulting material enables designers to develop rods that are not only incredibly strong and durable, but also lighter in weight and more sensitive.

Carbon Nano Tubes
3M™ Powerlux
Other nano technologies than 3M Powerlux™, like carbon nano tubes, cannot filter between carbon fibers due to their higher length-to-width ratio of 15:1. 3M Powerlux™ spherical nanoparticles have a 1:1 length-to-width ratio, uniquely allowing for more than 40 percent of nanoparticles to be uniformly dispersed.

FLY RODS
CREEK & STREAM
The Creek & Stream series have been optimised for sensitive fishing on small to medium big water. If you are looking for the ultimate rod for small technical water, then get optimised with the Creek & Stream series – because on these waters there are no second chances.
PEAK The Opti Peak, with its length and sensitive tip, is the optimal choice for Czech nymphing. It has also the backbone to handle big fish on a light line.
POWER SPEY
We had years of testing sample after sample before we introduced the Opti Power Spey. This rod works 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. It feature the 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.

FLY LINES & ACCESSORIES
OPTI 130
A true fishing line that delivers the longest casts at the coast, flatwater or reservoir. Even with a 13m head, the line can still adapt to underhand and switch casting. One of the many advantages to this taper is the optimized weight distribution which can handle even the heaviest flies.
OPTI SINGLEHAND OPTI CREEK
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. The taper is refined for an even better presentation and is suited both for over and underhand-casts. For running water, this is the line you need. LINE

DOUBLE-HAND SHOOTING HEAD
GDC double-hand is a well balanced shooting head system with integrated loops at both ends that is ready to connect to both shooting line and leader. The system is flexible, fast and easy to use and is ideally suited to the Loop Underhand/ Scandinavian casting style.
WEIGHT
155 185
See the complete range of Loop tackle and accessories on looptackle.com.
TIP
The Custom 155 and 185 shooting heads are constructed for those who want to customise to their own weight/ length and add their own loops. The lines are available in two standard lengths, 15.5 and 18.5 meters, with recommendations for modifications. The design comes from a tournament line that has been adapted for fishing. This unique taper is constructed so that the majority of weight is located in the rear section of the line. The result is a sweet turnover transfer that makes for easy underhand casting with a longer head than normal.
