Scientific Anglers UST Short Intermediate

Scientific Anglers UST Short shooting heads are a new, shorter version of the familiar UST (Ultimate Scandi Taper) shooting head. The 9.5-11.1m shooting heads are easy to handle in tight spaces and easy to lift into a new cast. These shooting heads are ideal for shorter double-handed rods and with large flies.

Scientific Anglers UST Short shooting head uses the so-called Sliding Density technology, which means the density of the line changes smoothly, instead of in steps. In traditional shooting heads, for example, the base can be floating, the middle part intermediate, and the tip sinking at sink 2 speed. In Sliding Density lines, there are no clear density differences between the floating base and the sink 2 sinking tip, but the density and sinking speed change evenly towards the tip. This improves the feel and hooking.
