As the successor to the popular Cross series, the Loop Z1 fly rod follows in big footsteps and the expectations for the rod are high. However, these high expectations come not only from us fly fishermen, but also from the development department of Loop. And so it took several years of design and development, as well as countless rigorous tests, before the new, greatly improved rod series was launched. A combination of optimal performance, quality and unique looks characterize the Loop Z1 fly rods.
The Z1 is a powerful, medium-fast rod that simultaneously impresses with a noticeable feel and hair-trigger precision. The lightweight blank of the Z1 thus contributes a very high field of application, which is supported by the different models. Whether for fine dry fly fishing on a small stream or for streamer fishing on grilse, the Z1 has a suitable model for every fishery. The medium fast action of the rod makes it equally possible to cover a wide range of applications and to practice a variety of different techniques. The Z1 is by no means slow, the Z1 manages to convince as well as the ZX with very high line speeds. The high line speed and the clean, precise loop ensure maximum casting distances and lots of fun casting in the end. The 10 foot long variants are also perfect for stream fishing, whether for trout or salmon. The long variants offer perfect control during the drift of the flies and allow even a roll or switch cast to be exercised with ease.
The design of the Loop Z1 fly rod is once again ingeniously successful. The more than elaborate reel seat of the Z series immediately catches the eye. Certainly a highlight of this great fly rod. The functionality of the reel seat was neglected in any way. The construction holds the role even over a long period of time bombproof and does not loosen thanks to the high-quality lock nuts even with vibrations. Other features of the fly rod also include the high-quality ringing on the matte blank. The guide rings of the Z1 are made of ceramic coated titanium construction and the other snake rings are titanium coated stainless steel rings. Both versions are extremely robust, durable and ensure minimal friction of the line, which makes shooting a pleasure. The fine, high-quality cork of the rod give a perfect finish and complements the other components perfectly.
The Loop Z1 fly rod is a pairing of impeccable design and outstanding casting and drill performance. Tight loops and high line speeds provide maximum casting distances without sacrificing precision. An ingenious combination, which make the Z1 a modern all-round fly rod in a class of its own.
