FOR SALE: Swedish made LOOP Traditional #1 with extra spool , and Risen Alpha SS #3 DT line (brand new never cast) , and pouch.

This is a classic light line, light rod trout reel when LOOP was made by the Danielson guys in Sweden. This is a 90's vintage reel if I remember correctly? Bought it new in the mid 90's and you don't see them very often any more.
I can count the number of times I've fished a 3 weight on one hand in the last 20 years so this has been riding in my fly tying desk. Just a couple teeny tiny little marks in the finish around the reel foot and outer rim, otherwise it's in great shape.
Never stored with the rollers compressed so they are fresh and smooth.
If you're not familiar with these reels they don't have a drag. Its pressure/ roller system that has no start up inertia, is very very smooth and silent in both directions. Great for light tippets.
This is also a FULL CAGE style reel if you're a mono rig, euro nymph guy looking for a reel that might compliment a very light line Euro rod like a 10' #1....but I can't be sure how well it would balance as I've only ever had it on classic 2 and 3 weight 7'6" and 8' Winston IM6 and T&T type little dry fly rods.

I just weighed it on the wife's digital kitchen scale and it's exactly 3.56oz. empty , 4.45oz. with the line and backing installed. Outer diameter is only 2.8" with a nice wide arbor.
Line is a brand new never even lawn cast Risen Alpha SS DT#3. (Khaki color)
I can sell everything ,shipping included, for $275.
If you have no interest in the line I'll peel it off and keep it, and do $250 shipped.
If you're close enough to pick it up I'll knock $10 off.

I'm a dinosaur and only have Paypal (That might take me a minute to remember how to use LOL) or can take a personal check....I'll find you if it bounces. 😁
