Scientific Anglers Headway Strategic Float

For over a decade, Flyfish Europe has been heavily involved in developing fly lines for the European market under the Scientific Anglers name. They’ve brought trendsetting, highly successful lines tailored to the specific needs of European anglers, for both single and double-handed rods. Fly line development has always focused on pushing the limits of technology and performance, ensuring purpose in every product.

After their successful introduction of the Headway Multi-Tip Shooting Head System, they realised there was a need for shorter bellies in an angler’s arsenal. Choosing the right belly length is strategic, depending on river size, deep wading, or limited space for D-loop management while anchoring the cast. Opting for a shorter belly is also beneficial for less experienced casters.

Scientific Anglers proudly introduce Headway Strategic Bellies. These tapers are a more compact version of the well-received Headway bellies. Headway Strategic features the same powerful rear-weighted taper as Headway, effortlessly loading the rod and making spey casting easier. One primary focus was creating tapers that don’t hinge during the back or forward cast, as hinging can sap energy from the loop during both anchoring and casting.

The development of their new Headway Strategic Bellies was purpose-driven with the angler in mind. Their goal was to complete the Headway/Headway Strategic as a comprehensive fly line system with the best casting abilities while covering every fishing scenario an angler might encounter.

Like Headway, the Headway Strategic perfectly matches with the existing Headway Tips.

Headway Strategic Bellies come in four different weights/lengths and five different densities.

• The bellies are designed to be used with a tip (They don’t work properly without)
• Bellies come in Five different variants (Float, Float/ Sink 2, Intermediate, Intermediate/ Sink 3 and Sink 3/ Sink 5)
• Rear-end weight distribution makes the bellies perfect for loading your fly rod, and provides excellent angled casting abilities
• Orange tracer at the read-end of the belly ensures visual control while casting and fishing
• No hinging in the transition between belly and tip. Makes for harmonious casting, smooth loops, and a better presentation (with straightened tippets)
• Textured coating, which - compared to traditional lines - makes the lines easier to pull out of the water prior to casting
• Scientific Anglers line-ID on both bellies and tips, so you can always identify the right line for the right job
