LOOP Z1 10'3" #2 – a premium rod developed for modern nymphing
The LOOP Z1 10'3" #2 is a lightweight and sensitive fly rod
purpose-built for nymphing on rivers and streams. Its 10'3" length provides
the reach required for controlling the leader, guiding nymphs and maintaining
direct contact with the rig, while the delicate #2 line rating helps detect
even subtle takes.
The high-modulus carbon blank with nano-graphene resin technology combines
low weight, precision and dependable strength. Its Medium Fast
action provides controlled energy transfer, sensitivity while guiding the flies
and the stability required when fighting fish on fine tippets.

Construction optimised for nymphing
The 2103 is not simply a longer version of a conventional trout rod. LOOP
adapted its construction specifically for nymphing. The
down-lock reel seat positions the reel closer to the end
of the grip and helps balance the longer blank without adding unnecessary
strain to the angler's hand.
The stripping guide is positioned closer to the handle to improve the handling
of thin fly line or a monofilament leader system. This allows the angler to control
line sag more precisely, recover loose line quickly and maintain better contact
with the nymphs.
Nano-graphene Z Series blank
The blank uses high-modulus carbon fibres combined with nano-graphene resin.
This construction creates a lightweight rod with clean recovery, high sensitivity
and the strength required for regular use on the river.
The Medium Fast action delivers a sufficiently quick response for casting
and setting the hook without making the rod unnecessarily stiff. It loads
progressively and helps protect fine tippets during sudden runs.
Sensitivity and control throughout the day
A weight of only 85 g helps reduce fatigue when the rod is held in an elevated
position for extended periods. The 10'3" length offers a useful balance of reach,
accuracy and handling on small and medium-sized rivers.
The LOOP Z1 2103 is intended for anglers seeking an advanced rod for European
nymphing, French nymphing and other contact-nymphing techniques where low weight,
sensitivity and precise rig control are essential.
