The COTW Opti Reel family
COTW represents the latest chapter in the LOOP Opti story, combining
nature-inspired finishes with the proven engineering of one of LOOP's
best-known fly reel designs.
Dryfly – for river and stillwater fishing
The Dryfly is designed around a #5 line and is intended
for trout and grayling fishing on rivers and stillwaters. Its lightweight
and balanced construction makes it particularly well suited to modern
single-hand trout setups.
The large arbour V-shaped spool provides rapid line retrieval while
reducing line memory and improving line handling on the water.
Power Matrix Drag System
The fully waterproof Power Matrix Drag System uses
marine-grade components and carbon discs to deliver smooth, powerful
resistance with virtually no start-up inertia.
Twilight Violet
The Twilight Violet finish is inspired by the quiet
atmosphere of evenings on the water, when colours soften, time slows
and the final hours of fishing take on a character of their own.
