Frodin Salar Catch Shooting Head – The Range

Salar Catch Foat: Designed for effortless control, offering a high-floating, supple profile that allows you to create the perfect belly—whether you need to speed up or slow down your fly. Its exceptional suppleness ensures a smooth, natural drift, enhancing presentation and performance. Finished in a discreet tan colour, it remains easy to track on the water without spooking fish. 

Salar Catch Float/Int: Offers the same superb swing control while providing enhanced current grip. Its opaque tip gently takes the fly just beneath the surface—a feature highly valued by salmon anglers worldwide. The F/1 model retains the discreet tan colour of the floater, complemented by a semi-translucent tip section for seamless presentation.

Salar Catch Float/S3: Many anglers consider speed control one of the most crucial aspects of salmon fishing. The floating belly of the SALAR Catch allows precise steering of the fly while still fishing well below the surface. This line achieves the same depth as a faster intermediate but offers superior speed control. The SALAR Catch F/3 features the signature tan floater colour with a medium grey tip.

Salar Catch Int/S4: Our 1/4 is a team favoUrite and one of the coolest lines in our range. The significant density difference between the belly and tip allows the fly to reach deeper while maintaining excellent steering and control. Designed to fish the crucial mid-depth zone, this line is a go-to for most rivers. The SALAR Catch 1/4 features a semi-translucent body with a subtly tinted light green tip.

Salar Catch Sink 2/5: Our go-to mid-depth line, ideal for fishing deep in medium-speed pools and slower water while staying mid-level in faster currents. In warmer conditions, it’s often the fastest sinking line needed. Since temperature plays a crucial role in line selection, our faster sinking options extend the perfect drift into trickier, colder situations. This line features a light grey belly with a darker green tip.

Salar Catch Sink 3/6: A serious sinking line designed for deep presentations, even in faster water, while remaining manageable to lift. When depth is crucial, this fast-sinking line gets the job done without sacrificing the ability to fish closer to the bank. It features a grey body with a brown tip.

Salar Catch Sink 4/7: A fast-sinking line, pushing the limits of most sinkers. Designed for cold, fast water, it ensures depth when needed for that crucial take. In colder conditions, the right line choice is key to achieving the perfect drift without excessive snags. A wide range of line options separates the pros from the rest. This model features a lighter green belly with a dark brown tip.

Salar Catch Sink 5/8: A ultra-fast sinking line, among the fastest on the market. In extremely cold and fast water, gradually getting the fly deeper is often the only way to trigger a take. Designed for bigger rods, this powerful line ensures maximum depth and control. It features a darker green belly with a bold black tip.

Salar Catch Sink 9/12: An absolute beast—the deepest-diving, most extreme sinking line we’ve ever unleashed. When nothing else reaches the strike zone, this line cuts through the fastest, coldest, most unforgiving currents like a weapon. Designed for the biggest rivers and the most brutal conditions, it sinks like a stone yet still delivers control and precision. The meanest black line. Ever.
