Product information "Frödin Salar Convert Short Spey Doublehand Shooting Head Floating-Intermediate"
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 Salar Convert Short Spey Shooting Heads are modern, compact multi-tip shooting heads with clear Scandinavian DNA. They have been specially developed for efficient underhand casts as well as skagit and scandi-style casts and impress with a powerful yet very controlled taper. The focus is on easy handling, clean turnover and precise presentation - even under demanding conditions.
The well-balanced design means that longer and heavier sink tips as well as fine floating tips can be guided with ease. The heads create tight, stable loops and enable precise casts at medium distances. At the same time, they allow safe anchoring even at short distances - ideal for confined spaces or changing conditions on the water.
Floating intermediate (F/I)
The floating intermediate variant combines a high floating belly with a slightly sinking tip. This allows the fly to be guided just below the surface in a controlled manner, while at the same time "gripping" the current better. This feature ensures a particularly stable drift and an improved presentation - a decisive advantage in many salmon and sea trout situations. contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
The semi-transparent intermediate tip draws the fly discreetly below the water surface without bringing it too deep. At the same time, the excellent control of the floating body is maintained. The result is a very versatile line that is ideal for changing conditions and offers a perfect balance between drift control and penetration depth. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
