I'm pretty jazzed about the new lines coming from Loop. I just did some test casting of the new Multi Double-Hand Float 9/10 and am hoping to see the new Quattros and Custom II lines in the next few weeks.
The Multi is a one-piece weight forward line for two-handed rods--a "one piece shooting head" if you will. The heads on these lines are slightly longer than the Loop Adapted Shooting heads for the same line weights--the head on the Multi 9/10 is 11.6 meters (38ft), 2ft longer than the 9/10 Adapted head for 14ft rods. The total line length is 30 meters (98ft). The line is two-tone--the head is ivory, while the running line is yellow, making it easy to judge where the head begins. The rear of the head is step-tapered to enhance durability and allow the caster to more easily adjust the amount of line outside the rod tip prior to casting. The Multi comes in floating and clear intermediate versions.
I tested the Multi 9/10 on a Loop Grey 9130. Whether with a long leader or superfast sinking Line Tip the Multi was easy to pull from the water and cast very smoothly with the classic tight loop. The running line was slick yet with enough body to make it easy to handle. The Multi is an excellent all-round shooting head style line system for floating line applications for anyone who enjoys shooting heads but would prefer a one piece line. Add a set of Loop Adapted Double-Hand Line Tips and you're ready for anything.
