Loop Opti Reach Fly Line

The Loop Opti Reach Fly Line gives anglers extra distance without sacrificing presentation or line control. LOOP designed it around a longer 12.2m head. This creates tight loops and provides excellent control at medium and longer casting distances.

The Opti Reach uses an extended front taper to produce smooth turnover. Therefore, leaders straighten cleanly without delivering the fly too aggressively. This makes the line particularly effective for dry fly fishing. However, it also handles nymphs, wet flies and lighter streamers well.

A key feature is the dedicated 3m handling zone between the head and running line. This slightly thicker section gives the angler greater control during the casting cycle. In addition, it stabilises the head when carrying overhang and shooting line. The handling zone also adds durability in an area that receives considerable wear.

LOOP uses a very smooth coating to reduce friction and improve shooting performance. As a result, the Opti Reach can produce excellent distance without requiring an aggressive casting stroke. The longer head also gives experienced casters plenty of line to control outside the rod tip.

The taper works with both overhead and underhand casting techniques. Therefore, the Opti Reach remains useful when limited back-cast space makes conventional overhead casting difficult. It also handles roll and Spey-style casts effectively on rivers.

LOOP uses two colours across the line to provide a clear visual reference. The Pale Yellow and Moss Green sections help identify the correct casting position. They also make it easier to judge how much line you have outside the rod tip.

The complete line measures 30.5m / 100ft and includes a welded front loop for quick leader changes. If you want a floating trout line that combines distance with controlled presentation, the Opti Reach offers a genuine alternative to shorter-headed fly lines.

Performance

The 12.2m head provides the stability needed to carry more line in the air. Meanwhile, the extended front taper keeps presentations controlled and smooth. The 3m handling zone adds another level of line control. Consequently, the Opti Reach excels when accuracy, presentation and additional distance all matter.

Who Is It For?

The Loop Opti Reach suits trout anglers who regularly cast at medium and longer distances. It works particularly well for dry flies and lighter nymphs. However, its versatile taper also handles wet flies and streamers. Anglers who enjoy both overhead and underhand casting will get the most from its longer head.
