Description / Frodin Flies Salar Convert Kit
The Frödin Flies Salar Convert Shooting Head Kit represents the absolute pinnacle of Scandinavian-style Spey line design. Engineered by legendary salmon angler Mikael Frödin, this premium interchangeable tip shooting head system is built for fly fishers who refuse to let changing river levels dictate their success.
Featuring a modern, heavy back-taper design, the Salar Convert system efficiently transfers casting energy from your rod through to the fly. This gives you a rock-solid front anchor, stable loops, and effortless turnover—even when casting massive tube flies into a headwind. If you want the ability to adjust your presentation from a shallow summer skim to deep, early-season dredging without swapping your entire spool, this comprehensive kit is the definitive tool for the job.
The Salar Convert System Design: This kit includes the high-performance Salar Convert Shooting Head (Body) paired with a selection of matching, density-balanced interchangeable tips. It functions as a complete, unified system tailored precisely to your rod's AFTM class.
Controlled Depth & Precision Swings: Salmon fishing is won or lost on depth and speed control. By utilising the Interchangeable Tip System, you can instantly adapt to varying pool structures, fast currents, and deep holding pockets, ensuring your fly tracks perfectly through the strike zone.
Modern Heavy Back-Taper: The specialised taper profile concentrates mass at the rear of the head. This geometry easily carries longer and heavier sinking tips without losing flight stability or buckling mid-air, making it incredibly forgiving for underhand and Scandi-style water casts.
Colour Controlled Belly & Tips: Frödin has eliminated the guesswork on a chaotic riverbank. The system features a highly visible, colour-controlled belly combined with distinct sleeve markings and loop line-weight coding. You can identify your exact head and tip configuration in seconds, even in low light or freezing conditions.
Sleeve-Reinforced Welded Loops: Built to handle the violent takes of fresh Atlantic Salmon and Steelhead, the connections feature ultra-strong, sleeve-reinforced loops. These connections pass through your rod guides smoothly and ensure 100% linear energy transfer from the running line to your leader.
Sustainable Practical Packaging: Every kit comes supplied in a smart, sustainable paper-based display wallet, allowing you to keep your interchangeable tips meticulously organised and protected on the water.
The Salar Convert Kit is precisely calibrated by line class to ensure optimal length-to-weight balance on both single-handed and double-handed Spey rods:
Lightweight Setups (#6/7 - #7/8): Typically includes the floating/intermediate main body alongside 3 essential 10ft tips (such as Floating, Float/Int, and S3/S4) for smaller rivers and low-water finesse.
Heavyweight Powerhouses (#8/9 up to #11/12): Features longer, heavier main bodies (up to 8m) paired with 5 diverse, deep-sinking tips (ranging up to fast-sinking Sink 12 options) to handle heavy multi-density setups on massive rivers.
The Frodin Flies Salar Convert Kit is available in various line ratings for you to choose from in our drop down menu.
