Product information "Frödin Salar Convert DH Short Spey Shooting Head Floating Kit with Tips"
The SALAR series from Frödin was developed by experienced fly fishermen - with one clear goal: maximum control and optimum presentation in all conditions. Because the line is the heart of every setup - whether for single-handed or two-handed fishing. It not only determines the casting behaviour and distance, but above all the correct speed of the drift, the depth of the fly and ultimately the success of the fishing.
The Frödin Salar Convert Double Handed Short Spey Shooting Head Floating Kit combines a floating Convert shooting head with three different tips from the Convert series in a well thought-out set. Thanks to the varying sink rates of the tips, the setup can be optimally adapted to the respective conditions on the water - for a precise and versatile presentation. The classic sink rates are an indispensable part of modern, flexible fishing. For this reason, Frödin has put together this practice-orientated kit that leaves nothing to be desired and even includes a free tip wallet.
The Salar Convert Short Spey Double Handed Shooting Heads are compact multi-tip shooting heads with a Scandinavian-inspired taper design, specially developed for efficient underhand casting in the single-handed range as well as modern Skagit and Scandi-style casts. They impress with a powerful but controlled taper, clean turnover and precise presentation - even under demanding conditions. Thanks to the balanced profile, light floating tips can be guided with ease. The heads create stable loops and enable precise casts at medium distances, while at the same time ensuring natural drift control
The Salar Convert Tips are interchangeable tips perfectly matched to the Convert Shooting Heads and form the centrepiece of a flexible multi-tip system. By quickly changing the tips, the presentation of the fly can be optimally adapted to different water levels, currents and depths - without having to change the entire setup.
