Float is the perfect choice for night fishing or fishing in low salinity. Our floating shooting heads has a neutral tip. These can be fished as a floating tip or a hover tip. It all depends on your leader and tippet. Fishing this with a fluorocarbon leader, you'll get a hover tip effect. With a nylon leader and tippet, this will work great as a floating line. 

Float/S1.5 (Intermediate) is the perfect choice for getting your fly down quick, but not too deep. Our slow intermediate line has a sinking rate of 1.5 inch per second (3.75 cm/s) for 80% of the head - 20% butt section is floating. This means you'll be able to track your line further out on distance and at the same time be fishing your fly in the perfect depth of water. This line is very versatile and be used in many situations. 

Float/S3 (Fast intermediate) is good choice for the ones who likes fast stripping or fishing rough weather with big waves. This shooting head dives through the waves and gives you the control and connection with your fly at all times when needed. Our intermediate line has a sinking rate of 3.0 inch per second (7.5 cm/s) for 80% of the head - 20% butt section is floating.

impressed

I have been testing the new Searun Advance shooting head series, and I must say that I am quite impressed. I was skeptical at first, as I have struggled to find a shooting head with the perfect taper to cast a variety of fly sizes. Typically, shooting heads for seatrout fishing are designed to cast big flies or a two-fly setup, resulting in a powerful turnover that is not ideal for presenting smaller flies. However, the Advance series features a well-designed back taper that smoothly transfers the energy into a short front taper. This design makes these heads very stable in the air and allows for delicate presentation of a Gammarus fly while still being able to chuck a big shrimp fly into the wind. Other advantages of this taper include easy distance and great turnover when casting into a headwind. The Searun Flyfish team did an astonishing job with these heads!

Where should one start?

To sum it up briefly, I've had; Cortland, SA, Rio and Arctic silver.
And to cut a long story short, I've found something that just works. I cast both better and further with Searun than I have with other lines (even those costing over 900 kr). Yes, I had to get used to monoline (those 20 minutes went by quickly).

I use
Axiom 2x class 8
Scott wave class 6
And it works 100%👍🤘

Fantastic shooting heads

Fantastic shooting heads - I was a bit skeptical at first with 10-meter long heads, as the previous shooting heads I've had at that length were impossible to cast with. Searun's shooting heads are designed to perfection - they cast superbly, stretch beautifully, and have a great presentation - even at a distance. Recently, I tried the leaders and tippet - again, fantastic materials that are very easy to stretch in casts. The leaders are softer than others, but wow, they are amazing to cast with. All in all, thumbs up from me!

Silky smooth coating

"Easy loading, long casts and good presentation"... Check! But what really sets this shooting head apart, is how smooth and soft it feels.
