Product information "ArcticSilver MD Viper Single Handed Shooting Head Float"
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. Arctic Silver MD Viper single-handed shooting heads follow the conventional principle of higher density and higher weight in the tip of the line and are ideal for salmon fishing in slower-flowing stretches of water. Targeted and long drifts thanks to controlled, delayed mending are just some of the positive aspects of the MD Viper shooting heads.
The floating Arctic Silver MD Viper shooting head is suitable for summer fishing on the coast, when the mefos hunt their food just below the surface and in shallow water. On the salmon river you can fish bombers, sunrays and other patterns for which a sinking shooting head is not suitable. This single-handed shooting head is also a good choice for presentations in shallow water or very clear water. For faster-flowing sections of water, we recommend the Arctic Silver shooting heads from the Reverse Density series.

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.
