Hi lads,
whats is the longest availble shooting head without having to cut up a double taper, do loop, rio etc do a really long 11/12 you can cut back for a 15 foot scottish spey casting rod?
Thinking of an over all length of about 50 to 55 foot , is that the length lads use on the tummel? read a interesting article recently and would like to learn more about these longer tay/ tummel shooting heads.
All the best corrib

All the best corrib Guideline uncut heads are 13.5m long and I'm pretty sure thats the longest s/heads available just now. There are a few ways to get long shooting heads but depends if its a floater or sinking head your needing? |

Put a 75' on and splice mono into it. Happy days. Strathglass has an 11/12 75' Ian Gordon line in classifieds you could cut and splice Guidelines are meant to come at 13.5m uncut, but I've had a few over 14m. Ask Tone what he thinks  |

Would that be the IG or the PT Anyone got an old DT13F or better still DT15F L you've no chance ;D There was a guy in the states was selling level floating lines in any desired lengths that I'm sure were of the right weights for 13/14's just need to add a front taper. |
