Product information "Frödin Salar Convert Short Spey Doublehand Shooting Head Sink5-Sink6"

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 particularly heavy sink tips and large flies can be guided with ease. The heads produce stable, powerful loops and enable precise casts - even when deep water areas or strong currents are required. At the same time, they offer secure anchoring behaviour at short distances - ideal for high water levels or restricted casting areas.

Sink7-Sink8 (S7/S8)
The Sink7-Sink8 variant combines two strongly sinking segments that bring the fly very quickly into deep water zones. This configuration is particularly suitable for deep pools, strong currents or when fish are close to the bottom. The graduated sink rate keeps the fly in the bite zone for longer, while control remains direct and precise.

Sink7-Sink8 head models are ideal for heavier sets, larger flies and deep pools - perfect for demanding conditions for salmon, sea trout or large salmonids.
