Guideline 3D+ Compact Shooting Heads are high-performance fly fishing heads designed for modern switch and shorter double hand rods. Their compact profile and carefully balanced weight distribution make them extremely easy to cast while maintaining excellent stability and turnover power.
The short and powerful head design delivers tight loops, stable flight and precise tracking through the water. Even with large or wind-resistant flies, these shooting heads ensure strong turnover and impressive casting distance.
The 3D+ Compact range is available in floating and multi-density configurations including Float, F/H/S1, F/S1/S3, F/S2/S4, F/S3/S5 and Inter/Sink versions. This allows accurate depth control in varying current speeds and water conditions without the need for additional tips or polyleaders.
Built on Guideline’s Direct Contact™ braided multifilament core with only 6% stretch and 30 lb breaking strength, these lines provide excellent sensitivity and solid hook-setting performance. Triple Layer Technology (TLT) improves durability, reduces memory and enhances overall casting efficiency.
The PVC-free polyurethane coating prevents harmful plasticiser release into the water. Combined with recycled packaging and plastic-free spools, the 3D+ Compact is a responsible choice for environmentally conscious anglers.
