Vision Hybrid Double Hand Shooting Head

After a long wait, Vision's new shooting heads are here! Hybrid Head is a shooting head. Hybrid Heads are meant to be used with Hybrid Tips but they also work perfectly with our ACE T-tips. The tips are sold separately, and the head won’t work properly without a tip. As it is a shooting head the Hybrid Head also needs a separately sold running line.

The wide range of lengths and densities of tips give anglers the opportunity to construct the kind of head they want. The Hybrid Head range includes shooting heads of full floating, Float to Sink2 and Intermediate to Sink3.

How does it work? 1) Choose your style: scandi, skagit, switch or single handed, 2) Select the proper weight of the belly for your selected style from our Recommendation Chart, 3) Choose the tip in the length you desire (we’ve made the recommendations to this as well but feel free to combine whatever you like. Our ACE T-tips works nicely also with Hybrid lines).

LINE TECHNOLOGY

SLIDING DENSITY™
Sliding Density™ is a concept where the density increases gradually to the tip of the line.

This means that the first density in the description is the density for the back part of the line from which the density increases gradually to the tip. For example, Inter to Sink 3 will have an intermediate (1 ips) back part of the line and from there the density increases gradually to the Sink 3 (3 ips) tip. This will prevent sagging of the line when it sinks which ensures better contact to the flies.

CHECK THE FLY LINES

DURASLIM™
DuraSlim coating is featured in our premium flylines. DuraSlim enables us to manufacture a line with a thinner running line than before without sacrificing durability. The thin and slick coating of DuraSlim will give anglers that needed extra casting distance.

CHECK THE FLY LINES

PVC FREE
Every Vision fly line that has the ‘PVC Free’-stamp is made with an environmentally friendly recyclable PVC-free coating. This means these lines have a durable coating that does not have harmful plasticizers.

FLY LINE CARE

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
A fly line gets dirty like anything else and should be gently cleaned after being used for any length of time. Wet a soft cloth in the mild soapy solution and wipe the fly line down. This action is particularly recommended after saltwater fly fishing or when fishing from the edge of a lake or a river. The fly line will pick plenty of dirt from ground, the bottom of the boat, being stood on and from water as well.

After wiping the line dean, applying a light coating of a fly line dressing will help to re-lubricate the line.

CAUTION IN USE
Modern fly lines do not react kindly with every day chemicals such as sun screen, insect repellents and aerosols. They are notoriously bad for fly lines and will drastically decrease the life of the fly line. Avoid contact with these at all times on your fly line.

Also, avoid leaving a fly line on the dash or in the trunk of a car as the heat will again decrease the life of the fly line.

REMOVING TWIST
When a fly line is used it will eventually get twists and coils. These will come from every day actions like casting and fighthing fish.

When not by the water, unroll and stretch the line out the full length on grass or carpet. Then, with gentle pressure from the thumb and forefinger, starting at the end of the running line, move all the winds to the tip or leader end and out forever.

Fast flowing water or a boat will help you to remove twist. Run all the fly line out to the water for a few minutes. Use gentle thumb and forefinger pressure to help remove coils as you wind in on the reel.
