Guideline Classic Scandi Body Double Handed Shooting Head - Floating

The Classic Scandi Body is undoubtedly the easiest-to-cast multi-tip shooting head from Guideline! With a perfect combination of lengths, weights, and sink rates, this double-handed shooting head lets you handle any situation you encounter on the river with ease. 

In addition to improved casting properties, the density distribution of these shooting heads has been adjusted to achieve a better sinking effect. With a smooth and softer coating and almost no memory, these lines offer fantastic balance as they fly through the air and perform amazingly while fishing. Together with Guideline’s wide range of tips, you can literally 'build' your dream line.

Guideline has been a leader in multi-tip shooting head development for many years, and with the Classic Scandi Body, the Scandinavians have taken another big step forward. The Guideline Classic Scandi is based on the previous 4D shooting head but with significant changes to its taper. Thanks to the improved taper design and weight distribution, these lines are much easier to lift out of the water. The shooting head casts with such high energy that it almost feels like it’s launching itself off the running line! When you form your D-loop for a Spey cast, you’ll immediately notice how the body provides instant feedback. With the new taper, it’s extremely clear when the line’s weight aligns with your rod. This helps maintain better line tension, improves your forward cast, and enhances your overall casting experience.

The smooth and softer coating gives the Guideline Scandi Body great loop stability during casting, and with virtually no memory, the line remains perfectly straight in the water without coiling. The new coating also enhances the density distribution of the line, giving it a significantly better sinking effect with more of the higher density concentrated in the line than before.

In summary, the Classic Scandi Body by Guideline is the perfect foundation for your custom multi-tip shooting head system. With the wide variety and options in this extensive tip system, you can easily and quickly adapt to any new fishing situation. Since the length, weight, and density can be adjusted in many ways, the possibilities are endless! A highly recommended choice for all fly anglers targeting salmon and other species with double-handed rods!

TIP: Depending on your preferred total weight and length, you can combine these bodies with tips from Guideline’s 4D and 4D Compact tip range. Please refer to the recommended tip lengths and weights in our size chart!
