Gamefish are delighted that two rods we carry in stock won Best in Test this year. The Loop Power Spey and the Hardy Uniqua are featured below.

Loop Opti Power Spey  Winner Best in Test more than £400

After a year of testing sample after sample Loop are finally pleased to introduce the brand new Opti Power Spey 14' #9 and 15' #10 rods for 2010. These rods work equally well with short heads (typical for Underhand and Skagit casting) or longer spey lines. The tip recovery is extremely precise and the butt power never gives up.

The models feature Loops new patended Balanced reel seat, which is 50 % longer than traditional reel seats and allows the angler to choose position of the reel, balancing the rod against the weight of the line and the casting technique.

Gamefish comment;

Designed by Eion Fargreaves [ a casting god is our eyes ] this rod is a joy to use for novice and expert a like, It is also 5 piece which helps hide the rod away when not hurling a line across the river. £599 In stock now

 Hardy Uniqua 15' # 10  Winner of Best in Test between £200 -£400

Hardy's chat;

The 30/40 tonne carbon mix allows the rods in this range to load deeply and quickly and gives them a very fast recovery rate. These qualities produce an action that is easy to master and yet gives genuine high performance on the river. A further result is the Uniquas are supremely capable with every design of line. Hard lined Fuji guides, scintillating dark pine coloured blanks, four-piece
construction and a carry tube complete this sophisticated package.
