{"product_id":"loop-classic-x-fly-reel","title":"Loop Classic X Fly Reel","description":"\u003ch1\u003eLoop Classic X Fly Reel\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe LOOP Classic X Fly Reel takes the traditional full-frame concept of the LOOP Classic and adds a genuinely useful modern feature: a two-speed retrieve system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than locking the angler into one retrieve ratio, the Classic X allows you to choose between traditional 1:1 direct drive and a faster 2.5:1 multiplier retrieve. That distinction is fundamental to what the Classic X is designed to do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1:1 mode, the reel behaves like a conventional direct-drive fly reel. One turn of the handle produces one rotation of the spool. This provides the familiar feel and direct connection many salmon anglers prefer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, switch to 2.5:1 mode and each handle rotation turns the spool 2.5 times. Therefore, the reel can recover loose line dramatically faster when required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat becomes particularly useful during a salmon fight. A fish can suddenly change direction and run directly towards the angler. With a normal direct-drive reel, recovering the resulting slack quickly can become difficult. The Classic X gives you the option to engage its higher-speed retrieve and regain contact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eClassic X Reel Power Matrix drag\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLOOP also equips the Classic X with its Power Matrix drag system. The reel has a fully waterproof and corrosion-resistant construction, which protects its internal components in demanding fishing environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother distinctive feature is the selectable sound system. Anglers can retain the characteristic audible click associated with a traditional LOOP reel or select silent operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Classic X therefore has a very different reason of choice from the original Classic. The Classic remains the traditional direct-drive LOOP salmon reel. With it's selectable two-speed operation, giving anglers traditional 1:1 control when they want it and rapid 2.5:1 line recovery when they need it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor salmon anglers fishing double-handed rods, that combination provides a practical advantage without abandoning the full-frame character associated with LOOP's Classic reel design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePerformance\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse 1:1 mode when you want conventional direct-drive control. When rapid line recovery becomes important, switch to 2.5:1 mode. The higher ratio helps remove slack quickly and maintain contact with a fish that changes direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWho Is It For?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Classic X is designed for salmon and double-handed fly anglers who want traditional direct-drive control without sacrificing the option of much faster line recovery during a fight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo-speed fly reel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelectable 1:1 direct drive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelectable 2.5:1 multiplier retrieve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRapid line recovery in high-speed mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraditional control in direct-drive mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLOOP Power Matrix drag system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully waterproof construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorrosion-resistant design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull-frame reel construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClick or silent operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for powerful fish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuited to salmon and double-handed fly fishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Loop","offers":[{"title":"#5-8 \/ Black \/ Left","offer_id":57598329585990,"sku":null,"price":1114.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"#5-8 \/ Black \/ Right","offer_id":57598329618758,"sku":null,"price":1114.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"#5-8 \/ Nordic Blue \/ Left","offer_id":57598329651526,"sku":null,"price":1114.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"#5-8 \/ Nordic Blue \/ Right","offer_id":57598329684294,"sku":null,"price":1114.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"#7-9 \/ Black \/ Left","offer_id":57598329717062,"sku":null,"price":1169.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"#7-9 \/ Black \/ Right","offer_id":57598329749830,"sku":null,"price":1169.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"#7-9 \/ Nordic Blue \/ Left","offer_id":57598329782598,"sku":null,"price":1169.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"#7-9 \/ Nordic Blue \/ Right","offer_id":57598329815366,"sku":null,"price":1169.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"#8-11 \/ Black \/ Left","offer_id":57598329848134,"sku":null,"price":1219.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"#8-11 \/ Black \/ Right","offer_id":57598329880902,"sku":null,"price":1219.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"#8-11 \/ Nordic Blue \/ Left","offer_id":57598329913670,"sku":null,"price":1219.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"#8-11 \/ Nordic Blue \/ Right","offer_id":57598329946438,"sku":null,"price":1219.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1024\/6651\/9366\/files\/Loop-Classic-X-Fly-Reel-scaled.jpg?v=1791998770","url":"https:\/\/slaneyfishing.com\/products\/loop-classic-x-fly-reel","provider":"Slaney Fishing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
