After speaking to a few locals on Orkney and Shetland when fishing in the salt for sea trout, they talk about fishing shooting head lines to combat the often gale force winds.
However my understanding of a shooting head would be a loop-to-loop connected running line/shooting head/tip combination as I use when salmon fishing with a double hander.
They also seem to make their own a lot of the time
Is there a commercially available single hand equivalent (presumably #7 or thereabouts)? Are they really just very weight-forward short headed lines? Or are they closer to switch lines?
