G Loomis Current Fly Reel

G Loomis Current Fly Reel

If you’re an angler who knows a thing or two about fly fishing then you’ll know that G Loomis is a name to look out for. This fly reel more than lives up to G Loomis’ exceptional reputation for top quality fly rods and it will sit perfectly on any of the rods designed by the brand. The first thing you’ll notice about the Current is its stunning cosmetics. With a rich dark blue finish on the external reel and a stunning polished gold on the spool, this reel is beautiful to look at. The wooden detail on the handle has been purpose designed to perfectly complement the G Loomis rod range, although this reel will look and perform exceptionally on any top quality fly rod.

The Current boasts a water resistant drag system. This is an essential feature as it significantly extends the lifespan of your reel by preventing the kind of grit particles you find suspended in water from entering the delicate mechanisms of the reel. The drag is more than capable of challenging even the most hard fighting of fish and is ideal for those fly anglers who like to tackle the bigger predators that haunt the UK’s waters.

The Current has been manufactured from cold forged aluminium. Unlike other forging techniques which heat and weaken the integral structure of the metal, cold forging ensures that the metal retains its full strength. The end result is an exceptionally durable reel that can more than withstand the test of time on the bank. The Current also features the benefit of a push-button spool. This enables you to quickly change spools at a moments notice – without the need for tools. This is essential for those anglers who like to be prepared for anything at the water’s edge and it has the added bonus providing a quick and easy retrieve change option – perfect for ambidextrous anglers.
