    Loop OPTi Peak rods

    Has anyone tried the Loop OPTi Peak rods (11' 3 or 4 wt). They seem like they would be great rods for euro nymphing.

    Thoughts?

    The 3 wt is a great rod.

    I have the 11 foot 3 weight and I love that rod! Just watch out, it has a tendency to break. But, if you have the cash it's an excellent tool for delivering nymphs to trout

    When I asked what it was designed for, I was surprised to hear that it was designed to cast dry flies for grisle Atlantic Salmon.

    Have you held one yet? They are extremely light in hand.

    I agree with Aaron . I have the Optic Peak 11 ft 3 wt. I broke the tip landing a big brown in Arkansas . I sent it back for service and got it back six weeks later. I bought the Hardy Marksmen 5 wt as a back up. I know I will break the loop again. The loop is a great rod.

    Probably not a good rod for me.
