Default Living with shooting heads

I'm having trouble finding the downside, hence my question.

Peter


To make it short. I cant see any problems with a "shootinghead only diet". I
live on a shootinghead only diet ) I'd never leave for a fishingtrip
without my heads - dryfly and nymph as an exception. Allthough i never use
anything else than floating runninglines, and actually rarely change my
heads since i more or less use my shootinghead gear for coastal fishing for
seatrout only. I can see you use all kinds of runninglines with different
floating/sinking abillities. Also I only use onehand rods. I have no rods
which are longer than 9 feet actually )

You can make an awful lot of heads out of that full sink for zero bucks.
