Leland on Loon Reel Lube
Sand inside your fly reel sounds like crunchy cereal when you crank? Not good! It doesn't hurt to protect your fly reel with a little rinsing, a little wiping, and a re-application of quality reel lubricant to save your reel from the wear and tear of friction and potential rust. Loon Reel Lube is a great multi-purpose lubricant designed for the high wear areas on most fly reels. It's easy to apply from it's go-anywhere plastic travel bottle, so you can keep it in your gear bag so you have it when you need it. Make sure you follow the manufacturer's directions when lubricating your particular model of reel, especially cork disk drag reels and reels with completely sealed or partially sealed drag systems. Hey, you don't want a bone dry bonefish reel to start screeching at the wrong moment when you could have brought the Loon Reel Lube.

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.
