Loop Opti Runner Reel

The Loop Opti Runner Reel is built for heavier setups where strength, capacity, and control matter. It pairs naturally with an 8wt for pike, while still crossing over well into lighter saltwater applications like bonefish. It has a solid, well-balanced feel in hand, with the kind of capacity you want when fish run and things get serious. Whether you’re throwing big flies or stepping into bigger water, it gives you the confidence to stay in control. The large arbor design gives quick line pickup when it counts. Clean, refined, and just a really good-looking reel — the kind of piece you’re happy to have on the rod. Loop’s sealed Power Matrix drag system delivers smooth, consistent pressure with plenty of stopping power, handling strong runs without hesitation. Built from machined aluminum with a clean, durable finish, the Opti Runner is made for anglers who want dependable performance in tougher situations. Available in classic finishes as well as Loop’s Colours of the Wild series for those who want something a little different.
