You will turn heads with this reel! Sure, the cosmetics are fantastic - just look at the S shaped handle, reminiscent of a Bogden (at a fraction of the price!) - but what really gets the attention of your fellow anglers is the loud clicker that screams when you have a fish on the line. We thought Hardy reels had attitude - they are pussy cats compared to the roar of this drag. So, it looks good and sounds good, but can it perform? The answer is a resounding YES! The waterproof, sealed Power Matrix Drag System has a huge range from a tippet cushioning light setting to a "whoa, I have to slow this tarpon down NOW" setting.
The housing and spool are machined from one piece of aircraft grade aluminum. What this means is that the reel is extremely lightweight. We have had these reels in the store for several months now and they grab the attention of everyone who passes the glass reel case. Customers stop and point when they see the reel, but when I hand it to them they always remark on how light the reel is for its size and look. Yes, most of the old style reels that have a similar design are twice as heavy as this Loop Classic Reel and have half the drag capacity.
One of the really nice features of this modern reel is that it is completely corrosion resistant - take it to the saltwater without a worry. It will handle anything that swims in any water any where!
The Loop Classic is available in either left-hand or right-hand wind, each reel is individually numbered and presented in a handcrafted leather case.
