ArcticSilver MD Reverse Density Viper Single Handed Shooting Head Sink2/Int | # 7

Product information "ArcticSilver MD Reverse Density Viper Single Handed Shooting Head Sink2/Int"

The Arctic Silver Micro Diameter Reverse Density Viper shooting heads are characterised by an unusual concept for fly lines: The rear end of the shooting head has a higher weight than the tip. Physically, this means that the energy flow from the loaded rod can be transported more directly into the thicker and denser line, or the casting distance, and that the higher density of the shooting head end actively pulls the light tip under water.

Arctic Silver's Micro Diameter fly lines and shooting heads are characterised by an extremely small diameter, resulting in excellent wind resistance, hardly any drag when casting and, of course, more space on the reel! When the line is lifted from the surface of the water, less splash water is created, which reduces the scaring effect on fish. In addition to the increased casting distance, which is also made possible by the small diameter of the line, you can also get to where the fish are faster with the sinking heads. Especially when salmon fishing, where it is important to control the presentation of the fly even in fast-flowing water, the Reverse Density System supports the positioning of the line under water. By raising and lowering the rod tip, the sinking speed and the floating of the shooting head in and with the current can be better controlled and influenced.

This unusual physical feature of the Arctic Silver shooting heads makes them an innovative product with many advantages and new casting, sinking and drifting behaviour.

About ArcticSilver:

First of all, the Norwegian manufacturer ArcticSilver is known for a truly innovative range of fly rods. All of these rods have one unique feature in common: the so-called Free-Flex-System including the Quick-Lock reel seat. This patented design allows the blank to swing inside the handle, which creates outstanding casting and fish fighting properties. In fact, ArcticSilver offers many different models that are suitable for a variety of different fly fishing disciplines – whether casting delicate dry flies for trout or massive streamers for large predators. In addition, ArcticSilver also presents a large selection of modern fly lines that have a very thin diameter due to their so-called Micro Diameter (MD) design. This design allows record-breaking casting distances thanks to minimum friction in the rod guides and hardly any air resistance. In fact, these advantages are not only noticeable in combination with an ArcticSilver fly rod, but also with rods from other manufacturers.
