Product information "Loop OPTI Dryfly Limited Edition Fly Reel Aurora Turquoise"
“Colours of the Wild” – Limited Edition Loop OPTI Fly Reel
With the new special edition Colours of the Wild, the Loop OPTI fly reel series celebrates its connection to nature – in the form of three expressive, anodized color variants, inspired by the silent, impressive moments of wild landscapes.
The Colours of the Wild models are highly limited and available in the following sizes: Dryfly, Rapid, Runner, Speedrunner, and Strike.
The Loop Opti DryFly is more than just a fly reel – it’s a real statement. If you’re looking for a timeless reel that perfectly unites form and function, this is the one. It stands for uncompromising quality, iconic design, and performance that has set standards for years.
The Loop Opti series has long achieved cult status – and rightfully so. Hardly any other reel family combines such a distinctive design language with technical maturity. Clean lines, closed cage, the famous V-spool design: at first glance you recognize this reel. Pure Scandinavian design – aesthetic, functional, timeless.
But its true heart beats inside: The encapsulated Power Matrix Drag System with carbon brake discs is 100% waterproof, saltwater resistant, and extremely finely adjustable. The drag starts smoothly and without jerks – perfect when fishing with delicate leaders and sudden pressure is applied. At the same time, it delivers enormous power reserves to tame strong trout, sea trout, or even bonefish with confidence.
The closed cage construction is not only a visual highlight but also a technical advantage: no line trapping, no leader slipping out. In addition, the build increases stability and torsional rigidity, even under high load. Combined with the large 102 mm spool, this results in an impressively fast line retrieval – ideal when a fish runs straight at you. Thanks to the V-shaped spool, the line is evenly laid, which significantly reduces line memory.
Weighing only 135 g, the Opti DryFly belongs to the absolute lightweights. It pairs perfectly with modern rods and allows finely balanced, fatigue-free fishing all day long. Its range of use is extremely versatile: it covers line classes #3 to #8 – from delicate dry fly fishing to nymphing and even coastal fishing for sea trout.
Adaptability is also well thought out: switching from left- to right-hand retrieve is done in no time. Typical Loop: every reel comes with a 30-year warranty – a promise of quality that builds trust.
In short: the Loop Opti DryFly is not just a tool but a piece of fly fishing history. For those who uncompromisingly value design, technology, and emotion.
