After the success story of the popular Q fly rods it was only a matter of time for Loop to introduce the corresponding reel. Now, after 2 years of development it finally arrived: the Loop Q Reel.
Available in four incremental sizes, the excellent new range of Q reels are the direct result of a two year project to develop a performance LOOP fly reel at a highly competitive price point.
Finished in a dark gunmetal grey and featuring LOOP's iconic L shaped badge of honour on the robust die-cast reel housing, each reel benefits from a powerful braking system perfectly suited for the pursuit of multiple species. The lightweight spool is machine engineered and features a V shaped arbour design to improve line retrieval during operation. As well as this effective line management, all Q reels feature a unique embedded counterbalance to en-hance rotational efficiency and also streamline the overall fly reel profile. The spool is quickly and efficiently secured and removed by a cleverly integrated screw cap, resulting in no loose component parts that could easily be misplaced. The attached cap allows for effortless spool changing function when an alternative line profile or line density is required. In summary, the four models in the Q series offers performance fly reel solutions for the most demanding fly fishing environments - from Trout fishing on small creeks to Salmon fishing with double handed rods.
We are convinced that Q reels will tie in with the success story of LOOP's Q rods. Great quality, innovative Design and a competitive price! More than interesting for novice fly fishers and those who want to save some bucks.
