Product information "Loop OPTi Dryfly Fly Reel"

If you're looking for a timeless fly reel that perfectly combines form and function, there's hardly a way around the Loop Opti DryFly. This reel isn't just a tool – it's a statement. It represents uncompromising quality, iconic design, and performance that has set benchmarks for years.

The Opti series by Loop enjoys cult status among fly anglers worldwide – and for good reason. Few other reel series have managed to combine such a distinctive design language with such a high level of technical sophistication. The clean lines, the closed frame, the famous "V-spool" design – this reel is instantly recognizable. It’s aesthetic, functional, and timeless. In short: Scandinavian design at its best.

But as beautiful as the Opti DryFly is, its real strength lies within. At the heart of the reel is the sealed Power Matrix drag system with carbon discs. 100% waterproof, saltwater-resistant, and incredibly fine-tunable. The drag starts up smooth as butter, operates without any jerking, and gives you full control – perfect when you're fishing with fine tippets and the fish puts on the pressure. And don’t worry: if you need real stopping power – it’s got that too. The drag has more than enough strength to handle powerful trout, sea trout, or even bonefish.

The closed frame is not only a visual highlight, but also technically smart. No pinched lines, no tippet slipping out – everything stays where it belongs. At the same time, the closed construction significantly increases the torsional stiffness of the reel – even under heavy load, everything remains stable and precise. The large spool with a 102 mm diameter provides incredibly fast line retrieval – ideal when a fish is running straight toward you. You stay in control and in contact with your fly at all times. Thanks to the V-shaped spool, line lays evenly, which also helps reduce memory.

Weighing just 135 grams, the Opti DryFly is truly lightweight – it pairs perfectly with today’s modern rods and allows for a finely balanced setup that lets you fish all day without fatigue. Its range of use is incredibly versatile: it covers line classes #4 to #7, making it the perfect all-around reel – from delicate dry fly work to coastal fishing for sea trout. Another plus: the reel can be easily converted from left- to right-hand retrieve, and – typical for Loop – it comes with a 30-year warranty. That’s not just a promise of quality, but a testament to how much Loop stands behind their products.

In short: The Loop Opti DryFly is not just a reel – it’s a piece of fly fishing history. So if you're looking for a fly reel that brings together design, engineering, and emotion, you've just found it.

Its light weight gives it an incredibly broad range of applications – the Loop Opti DryFly can be used with line weights from #3 to #8.

#3 10’ or 11’
#4 9’ or longer
#5 all lengths
#6 up to 9.6’
#7 9’ and shorter
#8 9’ and shorter
