Loon Outdoors Tip Toppers

Loon Outdoors Tip Toppers are a specialized fly fishing product designed to help anglers easily identify the tips of their fly lines. Here’s what you should know about them:

Key Features:
1. Visibility – Brightly colored (often fluorescent) to make your fly line tip stand out in low light or tricky conditions.
2. Easy Application – Typically come in small adhesive strips or pre-cut pieces that attach to the end of your fly line.
3. Durability – Made from tough, water-resistant materials to withstand casting and fish fights.
4. Minimal Bulk – Designed not to interfere with casting or line movement.

Common Uses:
– Indicator Fishing – Helps track subtle strikes when nymphing.
– Low-Light Fishing – Improves visibility at dawn, dusk, or in murky water.
– Line Management – Quickly identifies the line tip when stripping in or setting up.

How to Apply:
1. Clean the tip of your fly line (ensure it’s dry).
2. Peel off the backing of the Tip Topper.
3. Wrap or stick it securely to the line tip (some models may require a small dab of glue).
4. Trim excess if needed.

Alternatives:
– Nail Polish (DIY option, but less durable).
– Fly Line Paint (e.g., Loon’s own line of UV-cured products).
– Pre-made fly line tips (some lines come with built-in bright tips).

Where to Buy:
– Available at fly fishing retailers (e.g., Orvis, Cabela’s, local shops).
– Online (Amazon, Loon Outdoors’ website, or specialty stores like Fly Fish Food).
