Scientific Anglers Headway Belly

Scientific Anglers has revolutionized the world of salmon fishing with the launch of its Headway Belly range, specifically designed for two-handed rods. Born of an in-depth study of the needs of Scandinavian salmon anglers, this series of lines and tippets is the fruit of close collaboration with experienced anglers, fly casters and tackle store representatives in Norway. The result is the most thoroughly tested and fine-tuned range of lines and tippets ever developed by Scientific Anglers, offering unrivalled performance for beginners and experts alike, whatever the type of high-modulus two-handed rod used. The bellies of these lines are designed to be used with a tippet (won't work properly without one), and the tapered tippets make it possible to present both the smallest and the largest salmon flies. What's more, these tips are capable of enhancing the performance of most other line heads on the market (sold separately), offering exceptional versatility. Available in three variants - floating, intermediate and S3 - and accompanied by tips ranging from 9 to 18 feet in six different sink densities (sold separately), these lines offer an ideal rear weight distribution to load the fly rod and facilitate precise angled casts. An orange tracer at the rear end of each belly ensures optimum visual control during casting and fishing, while the smooth transition between belly and tip guarantees harmonious casts and smooth loops. The textured outer layer of these lines, compared to traditional lines, facilitates their extraction from the water before casting. What's more, each line and tip is marked with Scientific Anglers identification, enabling anglers to easily identify the right line for every fishing situation.
