Scientific Anglers UST SD Shooting Heads Intermediate / Sink 3 – dual-density shooting head for deeper and controlled swings
Product highlights
- Dual-density Intermediate / Sink 3 for deeper, more stable fly presentation
- Powerful taper easily turns over heavy flies, sink tips and long leaders
- HI-VIZ tracer for excellent visibility and line control in low light
- Seamless Density eliminates hinge effect between density transitions
- Shooting Texture reduces friction and improves pick-up from depth
- Designed in Europe for salmon & sea trout – extremely effective in real conditions
Equipped with a powerful taper, a high-visibility HI-VIZ tracer, Seamless Density sinking technology and a Shooting Textured surface. The UST SD shooting heads allow you to get the fly to the fish quickly, accurately and with minimal effort, keeping it at the desired depth and speed.
The FFE team developed this series specifically for European anglers who spend their summers chasing salmon and sea trout. The development took place in close cooperation with Scientific Anglers with a clear goal: to create a line series we can be proud of — true “badass fishing tools.”
The objective was not simply to design heads that make thousands of casts easier, but those that fish exceptionally well. That's why these lines are packed with the latest technological solutions from Scientific Anglers.
Main Features
- Powerful taper designed for modern double-handed rods — easily turns over heavier flies, tips and longer leaders.
- Dual density – Intermediate / Sink 3: a smooth density transition for a steeper swing angle and deeper fly presentation.
- Seamless Density eliminates hinging and provides a direct connection between angler and fly.
- HI-VIZ tracer for perfect line control at long distance and in low-light conditions.
- Shooting Texture makes it easy to lift the head from depth and minimizes friction in the guides.
