This rod is a little different, it has certainly caused a stir amongst many manufactures, aswell as salmon fishers. Here is what Loop say about their new rod.....
In order to generate the same momentum as that of a traditional rod, the arms must be moved further away from the body in the direction of the cast, especially during the cast. The farther away from the body a person moves their arms and the rod, the greater the strain imposed on the body.
Unfortunately, the human body was not built for the combination of long movements and excess strain. Every year, this combination results in large numbers of fly fishers suffering from chronic strain injuries to their arms, shoulders, backs, etc. The Zpey handle will help counter this trend.
1. The upper hand can be held closer to the body, thereby becoming a more toned down and effective partner for the bottom hand.
2. The curved handle allows the fisherman to hold the rod closer to his body; to cast in a more upright position and maintain better balance, while reducing the risk of injury due to chronic strain.
3. Using a tilted cast, we can further increase the pathway of momentum all the way down to the lower hand so that the hand can then be pulled in closer to the side of the body.
