One Year of the Advance Shooting Head Series
The EFFECT-TAPER has set a new standard for coastal fly fishing. After years of testing, we are confident that this taper design is the best available for long casts, presentation, and stability. The carefully crafted taper ensures smooth, consistent performance across all densities and weights, helping anglers improve their cast timing, tracking, and overall presentation.
Good presentation in every cast catches more fish! With the EFFECT-TAPER, you fish more effectively. The longer head and advanced taper design, compared to most coastal shooting heads, features a slower turnover, giving the caster more time. This extra time often reduces the hassle of poor timing and tracking in the cast, resulting in smoother, more controlled presentations. Better casts lead to better fishing, and ultimately, more fish.
The SEARUN ADVANCE Series: Where Experience Meets Innovation
Introducing the SEARUN ADVANCE series—tactical shooting heads born from many years of coastal fly fishing experience, meticulous prototyping, and extensive testing. Designed to elevate your coastal fly fishing game, the SEARUN ADVANCE is here, and it’s a game changer.
We’ve crafted a 10-meter shooting head that feels like a short head but offers all the advantages of a longer one. It’s easy to load, stable on long casts, and ensures beautiful presentations. The unique shooting head taper, featuring a longer rear taper and a solid body with a short front taper, makes it possible to cast very long distances without losing energy, ensuring perfect presentation even at 30 meters.
Long casts with a great presentation rely on overhang, timing, and tracking—key elements that the ADVANCE shooting heads help you master.
SEARUN WALLET: Functionality Meets Practicality
When it comes to storing our shooting heads, we’ve designed the SEARUN WALLET with real-world functionality in mind. Each shooting head comes in a reusable wallet with a mesh design, allowing your gear to dry properly after use. A zipper on top keeps everything secure, while the bright fluorescent color ensures you won’t easily lose it, even in high grass or low light conditions.
On each side of the wallet, you’ll find Velcro attachments that let you connect multiple wallets together, creating an ideal system for organizing and storing your shooting heads. Whether for a quick session or a long trip, the SEARUN WALLET ensures you stay organized and ready to fish at a moment’s notice.
With the SEARUN WALLET and shooting head setup tucked into your wading jacket, you’re always prepared for all conditions on the water. No matter what challenges the day brings, your gear is neatly stored and ready to help you adapt and fish effectively.
Consistent Design Across All Weights
At SEARUN, we’re serious about our products, which is why our lines share the same taper, length, and design across all weights. No compromises.
Start Cast Indicator All densities and weights come with a 2-meter rear taper in fluorescent yellow to indicate when to start your cast. If you pull in more line, you’ll require more blind casts, meaning less time fishing. Starting your cast earlier also gives you a second chance if a fish follows your fly—preventing you from spooking it by bringing the fly too close.
Double Densities for Versatile Fishing With double densities, you can fish both shallow and deep waters simply by adjusting your retrieve speed. The sinking portion of the line quickly brings your fly down to your target depth, while the floating section keeps it there during retrieval. This feature is perfect for hovering flies above the seafloor without having to retrieve too fast. The floating portion also makes it easier to start a new cast by pulling the floating part out of the water first.
Tracking for Better Control When fishing in waves, low light, or on long casts, good tracking can make a huge difference. The 2-meter fluorescent yellow float section helps maintain control and visibility, ensuring that you always know where your line is.
