Leland on the Loon Sheepskin Line Cleaning Tool
You gotta keep your fly lines clean, casting far and floating high to perform on the river like you want to. The Loon Sheepskin Line Cleaning Tool pampers your fly line like a Ferrari as you quickly polish its surface to a slick, gleaming, finish. Use this tool with a quality line cleaner and conditioner, and you'll be casting to the next county. The quality hardwood handles and dense sheepskin are built to last. I wasn't going to mention "organic", but it's a nice touch in this synthetic world to have a tool with a natural solid feel to it. Thanks, Loon people. Now, I gotta go cast.
Specifications:
- Dense sheepskin cleans and polishes lines
- Durable hard wood handles provide firm control
Leland on Loon
As with so many other manufacturers, Loon was born from a necessity for
better fly fishing equipment. An avid fly fisherman and talented
chemist, Dan Paradis knew he could develop fly and leader amendments
that were environmental friendly to boot.
Dan started tinkering with a basic piece of fly fishing equipment, the
sinker, and developed Loon's Deep Soft Weight, a lead-free, non-toxic
weight in putty form as an alternative to split shot. It was an
immediate hit with anglers from coast to coast. In 1993, he developed
and patented Loon's Biostrike, a reusable, biodegradable strike
indicator putty. Again, fly fishing enthusiasts raved about Loon's
product. Dan and his legacy at Loon Outdoors continue to introduce
revolutionary, award winning fly fishing products to the industry,
pushing the market towards more environmentally friendly fly fishing
products.
Loon on Loon
While casting a caddis on the Boise River in 1991, Loop founder Dan
Paradis knew he could combine his knowledge of chemistry with his love
of the outdoors and passion for fly fishing. He left his successful
career as the technical director of Dexter Aerospace to begin a new
journey. Loon Outdoors is that journey and Loon's concept is simple; to
create environmentally-friendly fly fishing products that perform at an
exceptional level.
Dan will be missed; but the best way Loop knows how to honor him is to
continue the journey. To continue living and pursuing a life filled with
our passions. To continue providing environmentally conscious fly
fishing products that better enable fishermen to find success in all
their fly fishing endeavors. Thank you, Dan. Thank you for living a
courageous life, and showing us the joy of pursuing our passions. May
you be honored by Loon Outdoors and all the lessons we learned from your
life.
