Leland on Loop

Pioneers of angling prestige and performance, Loop has been blazing trails internationally for over three decades and Leland is proud to be part of their stateside story. Loop was founded by two fly fishing gurus whose passion for the sport is equaled only by their gift for innovation. With this unparallelled balance of tradition and technology, Loop is the realization of a dream to craft fly fishing tackle as spectacular as the uncharted waters its patrons revere. Fly Fishing is in Loop's DNA.

Loop knows that setting the standard for fly fishing technology once takes dedication, but that revolutionizing the fly fishing industry several times over takes perfection. With the invention of the large arbor fly reel, the underhand casting method, and an unquenchable passion for seeking out premier fly fishing, Loop has accomplished more since 1979 than most fly tackle companies could ever imagine.

Loop Fly Fishing Reels have always been leading the way. For more than twenty years, we at Loop have been producing large arbor reels. With the new Loop Opti Fly Fishing Reel, we’ve entered a new era. This fly fishing reel has an even larger arbor and a narrower, uniquely V-shaped spool. This means a faster retrieve and less line memory. When you retrieve the line it automatically falls into place with very little help from your fingers. Of course the Loop Opti Fly Fishing Reel has Loop's silky smooth and powerful Power Matrix drag system. The drag system, which is totally waterproof, saltwater resistant and features the smoothest available start-up, is also found in the upgraded Loop Evotec G4 Fly Fishing Reel and the Loop Classic Fly Fishing Reels. Welcome to the future. It begins here at Loop.

In 1979, two young fly fishing enthusiasts from Sweden dreamt up the idea of Loop with one goal in mind – to make fly fishing a way of life. Christer Sjöberg and Tony Karpestam, Loop's founders, desperately wanted to be involved in the developing world of fly fishing and to explore fly fishing areas previously impossible to reach, and so Loop was born.

After 30 years of experience, enthusiasm, and unbreakable will, Loop has evolved into an international fly fishing company focused on delivering only the best of Loop's fly fishing line-up to customers who consider fly fishing a lifestyle.  We at Loop have always been pioneers of fly fishing, in our equipment designs as well as our explorations across the globe to fly fish every hidden river from Russia to Patagonia.
