New shooting head system for the serious seatrout fisherman

A new range of specialized single hand shooting heads by A.Jensen. All classes come in four specialized models to get the best out of each fishing situation.

A.Jensen promises you, “this is different, and a completely new experience in fishing with a single handed fly rod. The shooting heads on the market have until now been kind of “ordinary” with standard lengths and tapers. That is about to change with our new system…”

“We talked to, and listened to, fly-fishers from different areas in Denmark. People that we had heard, had made special home designed shooting heads to optimise the fishing in their home waters. As a result we have made a series of four different models, where the first three are based on the guys we have talked to and the last one… called Delayed TO – check it out!”

 

“If you got all four heads, then you will be able to optimize your fishing no matter where you're fishing or how the wind is! All new lines have our new super slim loops in both ends, and we have printed the line specs in the coating in the tip of each line, so you can tell them apart...”

1. HORIZON

The HORIZON is a head for casting in most situations. The head is slightly bullet shaped for enhanced turnover and a serious “punch” in the line, so that it really loads the rod and get the fly out there with as little effort as possible. Perfect for the bulkier flies or when there is a bit of wind. The head is 9,4 m long and comes in floating (Light Sky blue) and Intermediate (Semi Clear – meaning clear coating on a white dacron core). The lines have our new super slim welded loops at both ends and the line specs are printed on the coating to identify the line.

 

2. PRESENTATION

The PRESENTATION head is for those days with no wind, where you need a subtle presentation of a small fly on a flat surface, maybe even in shallow water. In other words for those days where “Stealth Fishing” is the rule of the day in order to succeed. The head has a long front taper that will ensure that delicate landing on the water and subtle presentation of the fly. It is 9,0 m long and comes in floating (Light Sky blue) and Intermediate (Semi Clear – meaning clear coating on a white dacron core). The lines have our new super slim welded loops at both ends and the line specs are printed on the coating to identify the line.

 

3. SPECIALIST

The SPECIALIST head is for those places with very little space for the back cast, or when fishing in hard, windy conditions. Classic situations is when you fish in front of a cliff, a steep hill or trees. This is also the head to use if the wind comes from an angle that brings a normal shooting head too close to your own head when casting or even when fishing into a direct head wind. It is also perfect for situations where you want to fish off a stretch of water close to shore. The head is rather compact with a steep front taper, that will help making good turnovers even in crazy winds. It is 6,8 m long and comes in floating (Light Sky blue) and Intermediate (Semi Clear – meaning clear coating on a white dacron core). The lines have our new super slim welded loops at both ends and the line specs are printed on the coating to identify the line.

 

4. DELAYED TO

The DELAYED TO is a head for those days where the wind comes from the perfect direction behind you, and is not too strong. Those days where you make the longest casts… The DELAYED TO will prolong the flight time of the head, and thereby give you the maximum distance. In short, this will be the line you will be able to make the longest cast with, in those good wind conditions. The head has a taper that will ensure the head straightens slower than the other heads, hence the name, which will increase the flight time, and thereby the casting length. It is 10,2 m long and comes in floating (Light Sky blue) and Intermediate (Semi Clear – meaning clear coating on a white dacron core). The lines have our new super slim welded loops at both ends and the line specs are printed on the coating to identify the line.

The SH kits are available in line classes from #5 through 9, in floating or intermediate. Combine these shooting heads with the super PRO Running Line by A.Jensen.
