Pricing We believe we have the best prices in the world today on the products we sell. We always try to meet or beat the price of our competitors, anywhere in the world! We believe that the only prices that we cannot compete with are those of fly shops that are going out of business. Unbelievably, we currently price our custom rods beginning at only 87% of MSRP! If you cannot find your rod, reel, line or package advertised here, please give us a call and we can normally create a package for you that results in substantial savings. In-Shop Specials! WE all know that MSRP used to mean "Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price". However, it does not mean that to some manufacturers any longer. What MSRP means to these manufacturers means is that if we advertise a price on an item that is less than the price the manufacturer tells us to advertise, we can lose our dealership on that brand. However, this MSRP figure may have little bearing on the price for which we may be able to sell the product "inside our shop." Therefore, please ask us about any "in-shop specials" that we may be running on the items for which you have an interest. On many items, we may or may not be able to help you. LOOP - In our opinion, this is one of the Best lines of Fly Rods rods in the world today. Additionally, Loop reels are simply superb. From the Multi, to the Evotec, to the top-of-the-line OPTI series, they perform flawlessly. Even the lowest priced reel in the LOOP line, the Xact, is a very good reel. WE are entering our tenth year as a LOOP dealer and are now one of the top authorized dealers in the USA. We normally have stock when others may be sold out. The LOOP rods, reels and lines are extremely good at each price point. Whether you want a delicate, 2 or 3 weight rod to fish for 8" Brookies or a strong, beautifully designed rod to battle Tarpon, LOOP makes your rod. We are a full-line factory LOOP DEALER. We regularly use these rods when fishing! In 2013, George Anderson rated the LOOP OPTI STREAM 5 weight rod as being better than any SAGE, Winston, Hardy, or St. CROIX 5-weight rod that he tested. That is saying something as the rod is $200-$275 less than most of its competition. While we agree that the OPTI STEAM is a fine rod, we rate the CROSS S1 as being better, especially in landing big fish! The OPTI STREAM is being redesigned for 2018. It should be available in July. LOOP is always trying to improve their rods! The new OPTI is to be called the OPTI K2. LOOP has a fly fishing outfit at almost every price point. LOOP rods, reels, and lines are designed as balanced outfits. Most manufacturers that sell rod, reel, and line outfits bought out other established companies to form rod, reel and line companies, not LOOP. Many rod companies are not even run by knowledgeable fly fishers. Not LOOP! LOOP designed everything to work together. We do not believe that any product line truly compares to LOOP in "total product line quality." This is what one of our clients told us after buying his LOOP CROSS S1 rod, OPTI Dry Fly reel and Evotec line: "Bob, For years I have watched people try unsuccessfully to improve
their golf game by buying new equipment. Ultimately, their swing flaws overpower
the new technology and they are stuck with the same old game even after the
equipment upgrade. Well, I fished with the new Cross S1 5wt and the Opti Dry Fly
reel you sold me for the first time last evening on the Hiwassee River here in
S.E. Tennessee. As a direct result of this outing, I have come to the conclusion
that you can buy the ability to effectively cast a fly for distance and
accuracy. The difference between this rig and what I had been fishing is almost
indescribable. The rod loads with ease and delivers effortless power. I am blown
away by its performance and feel. As for the reel, the smooth action is a joy
and it really picks up the line with that large arbor. It is a perfect
compliment to the rod. All this performance and just plain great looking too! It
is an understatement to say that I am 100% satisfied. I bought this setup for trout fishing but my first fish
turned out to be a surprise 2 lb Smallmouth that blew up on a Griffith’s Gnat
drifting through a run that always produces nice Rainbows. Big fun and a nice
little test to help me get acquainted with my new favorite rig. Thanks again for all of your help and for your honest
endorsement of the Loop products I ended up buying. I will be reaching out to
you again soon for a heavier version of the same thing. Best Regards, Eddie Triplett Cleveland, TN" When you analyze the quality in the very top of the line LOOP products, you will understand why they should be more expensive than some other premium brands. However, in the packages we offer, they are not. The LOOP offerings are no more costly than any other premium rod and in many cases, they cost less. While SAGE and Winston have increased their prices, LOOP has not! LOOP rods come to life with LOOP lines. We recommend strongly that you buy LOOP lines to use with LOOP rods. They work together by design. The reels create the smooth and creamy icing on the cake. Most
reel and rod models are in-stock. If we don't have the item you desire, we can normally get it in just a couple of days. We have a limited supply of lines due to world wide demand and the resulting shortage of stock in the USA. Please take a look at our very special LOOP packages offered below.
