Product information "Frödin Salar Convert Short Spey Doublehand Shooting Head Sink3-Sink4"
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 were 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 even heavier sink tips and large flies can be guided with ease. The heads create stable, powerful loops and enable precise casts even in difficult conditions. At the same time, they offer secure anchoring behaviour at short distances - ideal for high water levels or restricted casting spaces.
Sink3-Sink4 (S3/S4)
The Sink3-Sink4 version is designed for fishing in deeper water. The evenly sinking body brings the fly quickly to depth and ensures that it remains stable in the desired zone throughout the entire drift. This makes this design perfect for cold water, high water levels or strong currents.
The combination of two sink rates creates a balanced sinking behaviour that allows the fly to sink in a controlled manner without going down unnaturally steeply. At the same time, the connection to the fly remains direct and controllable - a decisive advantage when fishing deep pools for salmon and large sea trout.
