[VFB] Not a Dumb Question #1 (Shooting Heads)
OK, Jimmy has challenged us to admit that there is stuff that we don't know and ask about it, so here I go: I have never fished with a shooting head, although I have read about them. Do we have any shooting head experts out there who use them regularly? How do you cast and load them? What are the main advantages/disadvantages? Where do you get them, and are some brands better than others? Are they primarily made to use as a sinking line, or can they be used dry as well? Can you switch heads for different purposes? How far should a good caster be able to cast one? Thanks in advance, Tom On Jan 26, 2010, at 11:32 AM, Jimmy D. Moore wrote: Thanks DonO: We have indeed lost members.

My wife said I have so many flyrods and reels that I cannot possibly use them all. My reply was that I have rods and reels to fish, rods and reels to tinker with, rods and reels to hang on the wall, and then my fine crafted rods and reels to fondle and admire, while dreaming of trout fishing during the cold winter months. You can imagine what kind of look she gave me. © Jimmy D. Moore If I used this one recently, chalk it up to CRS ! º * JIMMY D.

RE: [VFB] Not a Dumb Question #1 (Shooting Heads)
Well, I'm no expert, so here's my 1 1/2 cents worth. Shooting lines originally were a heavier shooting head, similar to a weight forward taper, that was attached to a smaller diameter running line w/ loop connectors. They frequently sink. Now there are composite shooting head lines that don't have the hinge effect of the loop connectors, as well as interchangeable tips. Because of the heavier weight forward the thinner diameter running line, they cast further w/ fewer false casts. Most outlets that sell fly line w/ have shooting tips, as w/ any line, you mostly get what you pay for. Not sure how far a good caster should be able to cast, since that doesn't describe me, but I would imagine a bit further than w/ a weight forward:) -Original Message- From: vfb-mail@googlegroups.com [mailto:vfb-m...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Tom Davenport Sent: Saturday, January 30, 2010 2:01 PM To: vfb-mail@googlegroups.com Subject: [VFB] Not a Dumb Question #1 (Shooting Heads) OK, Jimmy has challenged us to admit that there is stuff that we don't know and ask about it, so here I go: I have never fished with a shooting head, although I have read about them.

Re: [VFB] Not a Dumb Question #1 (Shooting Heads)
Tom Shooting heads are used to cast long distance with minimal false casting. Here in the Pacific North West we use them for steelhead and salmon fishing although a lot of anglers are going to double handed rods these days. The big advantage is the distance you can cast. The big disadvantage is lack of line control on moving water. Over the years many fishermen have experimented with various lengths and densities of shooting heads; myself included. We even used chunks of lead core trolling line to make shooting heads. Using this stuff really taught you how to chuck and duck. Many of the commercially available steelhead lines of today are patterned after these experiments. Some of us became quite skilled at splicing fly lines. There used to be a special line splicing kit sold commercially in fly shops. I still have mine stored away some where. You can by shooting heads at most fly shops. They mostly come in 30 ft lengths. I used to customize my heads so they were 10, 15 and 20 foot lengths. I would splice a loop in one end and attach them to a weight forward floating line. The weight forward portion of the floater was also cut back about so it was around 15 to 20 feet long. then I spliced a loop in it so I could do a loop to loop connection and quickly change heads to meet the varying water conditions. Cutting back the floater helped eliminate the problem of hinging in the fly line. Originally I used a commercially available floating running line but it was difficult to mend any line with this stuff so I started using the weight forward floaters. If you want to see how well shooting heads work for distance casting go watch someone like Steve Rajeff. He set a single handed rod world record of 243 feet last year. Hope this answers some of your questions.

Re: [VFB] Not a Dumb Question #1 (Shooting Heads)
This is a video showing spey-casting a shooting head line: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9YlEfVV1S8 Can link to other videos, also. One of many articles 'how to': http://globalflyfisher.com/fishbetter/shootingheads/ Jerry Goldsmith uses shooting heads, but I don't know if he's lurking today. I tried once, when with him, but the timing is something that needs to be practiced. Main reason- distance. Where to use- big water. Drawbacks- lots of line out to manage.

If you are a lurker . or not a lurker, and you ask a question. ANY question. no matter how simple it may seem. You can bet your last dollar that there is somebody else out there who wanted to ask that very same question, but were too shy, thought it was a dumb question etc.. I used to get off list emails from ppl all the time telling me I'm glad you asked the question you did, cause I have been wanting to ask that myself.
