ArcticSilver MD Viper Double Handed Shooting Head Float/Sink3
Prices incl. VAT plus shipping costs
Arctic Silver's Micro Diameter (MD) shooting heads are characterized by an extremely small diameter, resulting in excellent speed, hardly any air resistance when casting and of course more space on the reel!
When the line is lifted from the water surface, less splashing water is caused, so the effect on fish is reduced. In addition to the increased casting distance, which is also made possible by the small diameter of the shooting head, the sinking heads also help you to get to where the fish is much faster. Arctic Silver MD Viper two-handed shooting heads follow the conventional principle of higher density, or rather, higher weight in the line tip and are ideal for salmon fishing in slower flowing water sections. Targeted and long drifts due to controlled delayed mending are only some of the positive aspects of the MD Viper shooting heads.
Arctic Silver MD Viper shooting heads load modern two-handed rods with confidence and are suitable for all common Spey casting styles. A great sinking shooting head with a small diameter. All shooting heads are equipped with welded loops.
The shooting head with Float/Sink3 characteristics is especially suitable for shallower water areas with slow flow speed, when the fly is to be offered just above the bottom of the water and a fast sinking speed is desired. The floating part of the head serves as a marker and orientation for mendings and drifting. For faster flowing water sections we recommend the Arctic Silver shooting heads from the Reverse Density series.

First of all, the Norwegian manufacturer ArcticSilver is known for a truly innovative range of fly rods. All of these rods have one unique feature in common: the so-called Free-Flex-System including the Quick-Lock reel seat. This patented design allows the blank to swing inside the handle, which creates outstanding casting and fish fighting properties. In fact, ArcticSilver offers many different models that are suitable for a variety of different fly fishing disciplines – whether casting delicate dry flies for trout or massive streamers for large predators. In addition, ArcticSilver also presents a large selection of modern fly lines that have a very thin diameter due to their so-called Micro Diameter (MD) design. This design allows record-breaking casting distances thanks to minimum friction in the rod guides and hardly any air resistance. In fact, these advantages are not only noticeable in combination with an ArcticSilver fly rod, but also with rods from other manufacturers.
