Product information "Loop OPTI Runner 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 Runner represents Scandinavian engineering at its finest – probably one of the most sophisticated fly reels on the market. Thanks to its special design, perfect dimensions, and iconic look, it truly lives up to its name: The Opti Runner performs optimally in every aspect and impresses equally in trout, tropical, and salmon fishing.
A real technical highlight is the fully sealed carbon drag system, which is 100% waterproof and absolutely reliable, even in saltwater. The legendary Power Matrix Drag starts up smoothly, operates without any jerks, and offers enormous power reserves – more than enough strength for hard-fighting fish.
Its large-arbor spool with a V-profile not only ensures perfect line lay and reduced line memory, but in combination with the impressive 115 mm diameter, also enables extremely fast line retrieval. This means maximum control during the fight – even when a fish suddenly rushes straight towards you.
The closed reel cage is intricately crafted but pays off twice: it gives the reel maximum stability and torsional rigidity while also preventing the leader from slipping out or the fly line from getting caught.
The Opti Runner is machined from a single piece of aircraft-grade aluminum, complemented by saltwater-resistant stainless steel and aluminum components secured with Loctite. With its light weight, enormous capacity, and versatility for line classes from #6 to #10, its range of use is vast.
In short: The Loop Opti Runner combines top-level engineering, uncompromising stability, silky-smooth drag control, and extreme speed – a reel for ambitious fly fishers who accept no compromises.
