Beulah Tonic V2 Skagit Head Short Shooting Head
Prices incl. VAT plus shipping costs
Beulah’s Tonic V2 line is a versatile, tuned skagit-style shooting head designed especially for fishing with polyleaders and sink tips, ideal for effectively casting bushy or weighty flies with little backspace.
The Tonic V2 shooting head's distinctive feature is its taper design. Unlike many other Skagit shooting heads on the market, the Tonic V2 has a subtle front taper, making it function more as a hybrid between Skagit and Skandi. The large selection of different weights covers the entire spectrum: from light single-handed and switch fishing, to light two-handed fishing and into the heavier spey range. The length of the respective heads is adapted to their respective weight and the associated areas of application or typically used rods. Especially the casting of weighted or bushy flies with little backspace goes particularly well from the hand with the revised Tonic V2. Due to the special profile of the line, you can adjust the casting behavior by the right choice of your tip and thus tailor it to your individual application. Lighter, longer tips for finer presentations or heavier T-tips to bring massive flies to distance and especially depth.
The lines were designed especially for the so-called "sustained anchor" casting, i.e. for modern Skagit techniques. However, Scandinavian casting style can also be achieved by combining the head with lighter, more balanced tips or polyleaders.
Tonic V2 Short Heads: These lighter and shorter models in the series are perfect for shooting head fishing with single-handed, light switch and trout spey rods. With a short polyleader or sink tip, they allow you to deliver larger wet flies and streamers across the river with little backspace. A fishery that is incredibly fun on light tackle and can be very effective.
The shooting head is looped on both sides and equipped with a distinctive Line-ID für easy identification.
