Short-headed lines have become very popular over the last few years. For good reason, too! Most modern carbon fiber rods with a fast action tip perform extremely well with a fly line that has a short head and an aggressive taper - they load the rod easier and faster. There are also many different realistic fishing scenarios where having a short-headed fly line can be a huge advantage - if you have a small amount of space to cast, if the wind is blowing in your face, or if you’re casting big, bushy patterns, the Loop Opti Drift is a great option!
The Loop Opti Drift Floating Fly Line comes with a head length between 7.4 and 9.0 meters, depending on the line class, and covers everything from Trout fishing on streams to heavy lines for predators like Perch and Pike. The floating line has a very smooth coating, which makes it shoot almost effortlessly through the guides. On the water, it floats high, can be easily mended, and can be pulled from the surface cleanly for the next cast. The two-tone design helps you time the cast and identify the optimal line amount for shooting. A welded front loop allows for quick and easy changing of your leaders. The belly of the Opti Drift has a dull green color, which makes an unobtrusive presentation that much easier.
The Loop Opti Drift fly line masters both underhand casts as well as precise overhead casting techniques - another reason why it’s a great option amongst the competition in the field of short-headed floating fly lines!
