Airflo Scandi Compact - Floating Shooting Head
The Scandi Compact is definitely the easiest shooting head to cast from Airflo!
With a smooth and soft coating, with almost no memory, these lines offer fantastic balance as they fly through the air and really do fish amazingly. Together with Airflo's large selection of tips, you can literally 'build' your own dream line.
The improved taper design and weight distribution makes these lines much easier to lift out of the water. The shooting head shoots with such high energy that it almost feels like it's coming off the running line! When you set up your D-loop for a spey cast, you will immediately feel the body giving you instant feedback. With the taper, it is extremely clear when the weight of the line is in line with the rod. This helps you to maintain a much better line tension, which helps you with forward casting and improves your overall casting.
The smooth and softer coating gives the Airflo Scandi Compact great stability in the loop when casting, and with almost no memory the line stays completely straight in the water without curling up.
In short: The Scandi Compact Body from Airflo is the perfect basis for your individual multi-tip shooting head system. With the enormous variety and options of this extensive tip system, you can easily and quickly adapt to any new fishing situation. As length, weight and density can be adjusted in a variety of ways, the possibilities are endless! An unreserved tip for all fly fishermen who are looking for salmon and co. with a two-handed rod!

Established back in 1990, the British manufacturer Airflo is known worldwide for high-quality fly lines and all kinds of leaders. In contrast to the lines of many other manufacturers, these lines are not made of PVC. They consist of polyurethane and they are completely PVC-free. Thus, they do not contain any plasticisers, which would evaporate over time. Therefore, these lines have multiple environmental benefits: They do not release harmful plasticisers into our waters and they save valuable resources due to their excellent durability. Further, they combine an outstanding performance with a great value for money. In addition to modern fly lines, this large selection also includes shooting heads, running lines and all kinds of leaders. Therefore, Airflo offers the perfect line for every type of fishing – whether you’re fishing in fresh or saltwater!
