Hi Apachetrout.

I own an old Blue Line Loop rod (#5 for trout), although it's on the low end of the line it's a very good rod which I still use a lot.

I think that Loop rods are excelent products, Loop lines are IMO among the best lines there is, if not the best.
Their reels are also very good as are their other products which I know of.

Recently I bougth new waders which leak so I fixed my old Loop waders with Aquaseal and they don't leak any more, they are now 10 years old

The bad thing is the Loop products are very expensive, I would buy more of them if I had the money.

Thorarinn.
