Whether you're fishing deep bluewater offshore, fast river systems, or just the bank of an expansive tidal flat, you can think of Scientific Anglers' Deep Water Express Shooting Head as your secret weapon. A tapered 30' shooting head, the Deep Water Express starts at a hefty 850 grains and can be cut to suit whatever rod you're fishing. Designed to sink your flies quickly while promoting clean turnover, this shooting head is rated at 9-10 ips so that you can quickly hit deeper water columns. Chucking foot-long streamers at angry billfish, pursuing striped bass in a fast-flowing estuary, or just looking for a little extra sink to your freshwater streamer game, the Deep Water Express Shooting Head can do it all.
Features
Uses
Streamers and Crustaceans - Scientific Anglers built their Deep Water Express Shooting Head as your ace in the hole whenever you need to get deep fast. This 30' shooting head can be easily attached and its quick sink rate makes it a solid choice whenever you need to get your streamer down deep. However, it's also a great option for those who want to drag shrimp, crabs, and other crustaceans tight on the water's bottom.
Temp
Cold/Warm -Since this is just a shooting head, it offers a little extra versatility when it comes to your temperature range. While it's not suited for truly hot tropical conditions, the Deep Water Express is equally at home in a cold river system as it is in a warm offshore scenario.
Taper/Weight
More Mass Towards the Front of the Head - The Deep Water Express Shooting Head has an aggressive shooting taper that quickly loads your rod. However, since this isn't an integrated line, its taper only accounts for the shooting head, which will create a lot of mass at the front portion of your system.
More Info
Best for: Freshwater, Saltwater, Salmon, Steelhead, Trout, Striped Bass, Tuna, Billfish, Giant Trevally
Loops: Front Loop (Leader to Fly Line Connection) and Back Loop (Running Line to Shooting Head Connection)
Sinking/Floating: Sinking
