Instructions for Shortening Shooting Heads:
-
Determine Length and Weight
Measure the current length and weight of the shooting head to know the starting values, or refer to the manufacturer's specifications. -
Shorten at the Rear End
Only shorten the shooting head at the rear end to avoid damaging the taper and affecting the fly's turnover. Cut in small increments of 10-15 cm. -
Recheck Weight
Weigh the shooting head after each cut to ensure the weight matches your rod. -
Create a Loop
Make a new loop at the shortened end (e.g., by splicing or using shrink tubing).
Required Tools for Shortening Shooting Heads:
-
Scale
To accurately determine the weight of the shooting head before and after shortening. -
Scissors or Sharp Cutter
For precise shortening of the shooting head at the rear end. -
Shrink Tubing
To create a new loop at the shortened end of the shooting head and secure the end. -
Lighter
To heat the shrink tubing so it conforms to the end of the shooting head and creates a secure connection. -
Measuring Tape or Ruler
To accurately measure the length of the shooting head before cutting.
