This premium shooting head series was developed in cooperation between FFE and Scientific Anglers specifically for European anglers chasing salmon and sea trout. The Float / Sink 3 model combines a powerful taper, high-visibility HI-VIZ tracer, Seamless Density sinking technology and Shooting Texture surface — all to help you deliver the fly to the fish fast, accurate and with minimal effort.
The development goal was clear: to create a “badass fishing tool” that makes thousands of casts throughout the season feel effortless, while still fishing extremely effectively. These heads are packed with the latest Scientific Anglers technologies, ensuring consistent, controlled and efficient swing performance.
