Sexyloops Master Rod Builder, Lee “Nimble” Martell, has been honing his skills for a very special rod…
The best 8wt I have ever used.
I’ve recently started competition fly casting and in the process I have gotten the chance to cast more rods in the last 18 months than in had since I had started fly fishing.
My fishing has improved too with the ability to be more consistent and to have more range and accuracy and get to fish that I might not have had a chance at without all the casting practice.
Now then, for the last ten days I have been lucky enough to be on North Andros in the Bahamas. However, the weather here has been the wettest and windiest May for the last five years. Which meant it was difficult to spot the Bonefish and equally challenging to get the fly in front of them quickly enough.
This is where the 8wt Hot Torpedo came in to its own! What a rod! Accurate, powerful, light weight but with plenty of finesse to protect your tippet on the Bonefish’s first blistering run.
This trip has proved what I had been thinking since I first picked up the Hot Torpedo. It’s the best fishing 8wt I’ve ever used. In fact it’s a pleasure to cast and fight fish with.
You can tell by the pictures how “nice” the weather is. It looks more like the west of Scotland in February! However a lot warmer!
Anyway, if you get the chance to try a Sexyloops Hot Torpedo 8wt, you won’t regret it, in fact, it could transform your fishing experience.

A Great Idea!
Now this is a great idea from one of our best customers, An Ren Tan, who has the complete Hot Torpedo collection and is currently down the path to making sure his girlfriend has the same!
Our normal whipping colour scheme is iron blue grey with orange toppings, which is stunning of course (in a fishy subtle kind of way), however this can lead to complications when all your rods get mixed up! An Tan’s method of ensuring this doesn’t happen it to change the toppings, here in this case his HT8 has silver tips.
Remember you can do this too, since pimping your rod is included in the retail price. 🙂

Brandon’s HT10
A Saltwater 10WT like no other… a rod that is not only FAST and SEXY, but has FEEL right to the butt. Matched with a 10WT fly line, that really is a 10WT fly line and not some overweight brick of a line, then you will experience the Hot Torpedo action.
This 10WT blows the competition out the water. It’s a Snakehead rod, it’s a Saltwater Flats rod, and finally it’s a Competition 5WT rod! And because it has the HT action, you can cast it all day, every day, and your body and mind will love it.
Our top-selling rod of 2017. Will it be our top selling rod of 2018?
Comes with Torzite Titanium rings as standard… we only fit the very best.
