Scientific Anglers Headstart

sci_mfw_headstart_lg.jpg
APPLICATIONS:
  • Made half-size heavier to increase rod load for easier casting and designed with a forgiving front taper that turns over easily - making this the ideal fly line for beginners and occasional anglers
  • Quick-loading and quick-shooting for fast-casting big dry flies, hoppers, salmon flies, streamers, and nymphs
  • Telecast bump on running line (see below) tells you by feel when to pick up and recast
    TAPER CHARACTERISTICS:
  • Shorter head and shorter front taper allow easier turnover for longer casts with less effort
  • The design also enhances accuracy
  • Slightly thicker tip floats higher on the water to make fish strikes easier to detect
