Like a rocket, on a leash

Extremely fast loading fly line. Used on a Sage One #6 with a #6 line... 2 false casts is all it takes to shoot the entire line effortless out. Even at "full range" the line has enough energy to flip over the leader and stretch the tippet, presenting the fly nice and quiet on the water.
The only downside to the line I received is that it was measured to 25,2 meter and not the 27,4 meters as listed. This line (and rod) combination holds so much energy that I can shoot out an extra 3 meters of backing - I would rather have liked that to be "more running line" of the line - a luxury issue. A perfect line for "medium distance costal fly fishing" or stream fly fishing. Now, make one like this that it 35 meters long in total, ill be the first to buy! :)

First practice with my new line

As we are mid winter here in Sweden, there is ice on the closest water. So last friday I couldn't stand it any more. I need to cast!
I've tried a lot in my garden and close areas, but there is no room for any distance at all.
Brought my 4# rod loaded whit my investment from black week. A "short head line" from Sunray. Because of the circumstanses of a minor lockdown, I went to a sporting hall nearby. From time to time I work in the same building and even though we've Corona restictions I have axcess to the hall.

I was there for an hour, standing in the absolute middle of tha hall. And with ease I could reach the handboll goals in both ends. The line just worked perfectly, smoothly but with distinction, loading the rod. And then shoting like a projectile. I tried my best to put my technique the way Tom showed in the recent lookdown videos.
I felt like It worked pretty well. I was so pleased and a bit proud when I went home.

PS: I shot a video during my exercise. When I whatch it, as I came home, my pride decreased a bit. But to watch was a good lesson to. There is room for improvement!

I bought the Short Head with Overhang Marker when it was on offer a couple of months ago. From memory, I think I paid £24.99 plus postage, and at that price I would certainly buy another.
The line cast superbly -- ignore the AFTM rating and go by the weight of the head, as my 4wt appears to be convinced it is a 6wt -- but there is one major drawback.
I fish for a couple of hours or so, perhaps five days a week, and this line just isn't man enough for that sort of work.
The coating at the rear of the head, the area which takes the most punishment on shorter casts, began to break up pretty quickly. And let's face it, you are not forever aerialising 30ft of a 4wt, are you?
The line is still useable, and I am happy to treat fly lines as consumable. I just don't want to consume them quite so quickly.
At £25 I would grit my teeth and stump up the cash for another one. But certainly not at more than £60 on my doormat.

Exceeded expectations.

I purchased a weight 8 line last week. Went to my local fishery on Saturday to give it a blast. I quickly got used to the feel of the thin line in my fingers at the point where the overhang takes effect. I was amazed and shocked to find that I was casting a good bit further than my usual line. To be honest, I was drawing more line off the reel after every cast and was comfortably watching it want more.
Now, after this successful trial run of a new line, I am keen to purchase a #4 for my more seasoned rods. Hope they are back in stock soon.

Awsome

It says it all in the title. Once you learn where the overhang marker suits your casting is so easy. Long distance becomes easy and targeting is sooooo much easier. If any doubt I have just bought a Microlite ss #4 and bought the same line and a pro line to go with. great service and products.

Awesome pike line

I won a short head fly line 9# in one of Tom's Facebook competitions.
What an awesome fly line!!!!
I fish for pike on the river Hull near Driffield, its probably about 45' at its widest at hempholme lock, with any other line I've used in the past i would only make it q little over halfway across, but with this line I'm hitting the other bank, it also floats really well keeping my fly in the zone i like to fish.
Well done Tom, keep up the good work.

Mark.
