Loop Cross SX

[sodahead]

Hello, anyone fish a Loop Cross SX fly rod in 5, 6 or 7 weight. They are selling at half price and reviews suggest that they are a goodly rod. Any views and opinions out there about these rods? Thanks in advance.

Hi SH,

You see them using the Loop Cross a lot in New Zealand on the trout hunter videos. They seem to have plenty of backbone in the lower sections but a sensitive tip.

Where have you seen them at half price out of interest?

It seems to be the S1 that is more widely used in NZ YouTube content.

I think that you would be better off using a S/H Sage RPL or Enigma EMG for Sea Trout
A lot more feel than tip stiff modern rods and a lot stronger too.

He didn't say what it was going to be used for, but that would help. Sodahead?

Thanks for the response above. I will be using the rod for still water trout (I may encounter a fish in the region 6 to 10lbs). Its the discount that catches the eye (but that is possibly a manipulative intent) but also the rods just look superb.

Have a 10' #6 , bought early spring.
Like it a lot, well built pretty fast action.
Depending on your casting abilities I would probably use a #7 weight forward.
Quality cork and tube.
Worth the money in my opinion.

Extra discounts this weekend Sodahead.

I just bought a Loop Q kit, as a budget saltwater outfit, for £236.00 - rod, reel, line and leader. Would have been rude not to buy it.
