Loop Opti Speedrunner

The Loop Opti Speedrunner has been developed for anglers who need to recover line quickly without sacrificing power or reliability. Built around an oversized large arbor design, the Speedrunner retrieves significantly more line with every turn of the handle than a conventional fly reel. As a result, it gives anglers a clear advantage when fast-running salmon or sea trout suddenly change direction or charge back upstream.

The Speedrunner achieves its impressive retrieve rate through a carefully engineered oversized spool rather than an oversized frame. This design keeps the reel lightweight while increasing the amount of line recovered with every revolution. Consequently, anglers spend less time winding and more time maintaining direct contact with the fish during critical moments of the fight.

Loop machines the Opti Speedrunner from high-grade aluminium to deliver exceptional strength without unnecessary weight. The rigid frame prevents flex under heavy drag pressure, while the distinctive V-shaped spool increases backing capacity without making the reel bulky. This combination creates a reel that balances modern double-hand and switch rods while providing the capacity needed for powerful salmon and sea trout.

At the heart of the reel is Loop's proven sealed carbon disc drag system. It delivers smooth, progressive resistance throughout its range and performs consistently in cold, wet and demanding conditions. Furthermore, the fully sealed design protects the drag from water, grit and debris, helping maintain reliable performance throughout the season.

The Loop Opti Speedrunner also offers the versatility expected from a premium salmon reel. It converts easily between left and right-hand wind, while the large ergonomic handle provides a secure grip even when fishing with cold or wet hands. Whether swinging flies on a large river, fishing a Scandinavian shooting head or covering water with a switch rod, the Loop Opti Speedrunner delivers the speed, control and reliability serious fly anglers demand.

Performance
