Guideline 3D+ Compact Shooting Heads is a modern range of compact heads for switch and double hand work that re-define the phrase “Easy-To-Cast”. These lines are available in weights covering most encountered fishing with single hand- switch and shorter double hand rods, except the very heaviest line weights. They are short, yet extremely rigid and precise in the flight during casting. We have spent a lot of time fine tuning the weight balance, the individual lengths and the transitions between the various densities to optimize them both in terms of sink speeds and tracking through the water. Their ability to stay balanced, yet powerful enough to turn over bulky, wind-resistant flies and cast further than you thought possible with such short lines make them a great all-round option.
Their buoyant back ends make lift-off from the water easy. They excel in the last part of the swing when current drops and a line with less buoyancy in the back will lose speed and ability to fish into your own bank. The floating part of the F/S lines is about 40% of the total length and so is the fa...

Their ability to stay balanced, yet powerful enough to turn over bulky, wind-resistant flies and cast further than you thought possible with such short lines make them a great all-round option.
Their buoyant back ends make lift-off from the water easy. They excel in the last part of the swing when current drops and a line with less buoyancy in the back will lose speed and ability to fish into your own bank. The floating part of the F/S lines is about 40% of the total length and so is the fastest sinking density in the front. 3D Compact heads feature the very latest in PVC-free, eco-friendly Polyurethane material and are pre-looped with the industry’s strongest loops. They are built on our proven Direct Contact™ cores with only 6% stretch and a breaking strength of 30 lbs. They are designed to perform perfectly without the addition of extra Tips or Polyleaders, just add your desired length of leader/tippet and you’re good to go. All lines are color-coded and ID printed in the back end for easy identification of line weight and density.
Colors of the lines: FLOAT - Pale green, F/H/S1 - Pale/Clear green, F/S1/S3 - Pale green/Medium Grey, F/S2/S4 - Pale green/Dark Grey, F/S3/S5 - Pale green/Black, I/S4/S6 - Pale Green/Dark Grey, S2/S5/S7 - Light Grey/Black.
TECHNOLOGY
TLT (Triple Layer Technology) & Direct Contact™ Core
Complex, multiple density and hardness in the coatings of these lines help to shape the flylines of the future. A new, revolutionary chemical formula and three different coating materials control hardness as well as memory and density in various parts of the lines. This creates better casting performance, more efficient fishing and bite detection, as well as added durability. TLT has given us the chance to build lines that float well and repel water better and more effectively than any lines we’ve produced before. Built on braided multifilament Direct Contact™ Core with only 6% stretch.
ECO ADVANTAGES
Our eco vision is Clean All the Way, which means the least environmental impact possible. This fly line has a Polyurethane coating instead of PVC that bleeds harmful plasticizers (Phthalates) into the water. Our boxes are made from recycled paper with water-based UV coatings and we have removed all plastic spools from the packaging. The result is that we can offer you the “cleanest” and most eco-friendly fly line on the market.
Guideline
Guideline is a leading Scandinavian fly fishing tackle brand. Guideline has more than 20 years of experience in designing and developing own products. Guideline has a wide range of products that fits all levels of skills and expectations. Fly fishermen and the techniques we practice are demanding more and more of the equipment we use. Fly fishing have developed to be a year around hobby or lifestyle as we like to call it. All in all this is leading to higher demands of quality. We live and practice under the slogan: It's all about the experience, therefore our staff always secure top quality products.
