In 2025, LOOP Tackle set out with a clear and ambitious goal: to create the best-value fly rod on the market without sacrificing performance. The new LOOP Trak Series Fly Rod, a range that’s been over 12 months in development and is now ready to redefine expectations for anglers everywhere.
I’ve spent years guiding for salmon, and while I didn’t always carry a net when fishing alone, I’ve come to realise just how valuable they are. A good salmon net gives me confidence, improves fish handling, and helps reduce the risk of losing fish at the bank especially in tricky conditions. Modern designs, like lightweight frames and simple bungee systems, make nets far less cumbersome than they used to be, meaning I can carry one without it getting in the way. For me, a quality salmon net isn’t just a convenience, it’s an essential bit of kit that improves both my fishing and fish welfare.
Built for anglers who refuse to compromise, the Spartan Precision Rod Rack is a travel-friendly, hard-wearing, and lightweight solution you can genuinely trust. Drawing on Spartan Precision’s renowned engineering craftsmanship from the hunting world, this rack has been designed to perform flawlessly wherever the road or river takes you.
After three years of testing with the TwinPeakes team and three prototype evolutions, the final result is a rock-solid rod rack that balances strength, protection, and ease of use in one beautifully engineered system.
