There are quite a few of my articles floating around on the web. You will
find some posts of mine on the subject if you do a search on roff;

If you do a general search for "Connor Shooting heads" this should also
turn up some stuff, although there are plenty of other good articles from
other people on the web as well.

Most of the people I know use heads for their salmon fishing, and the
majority make them up themselves. There are several methods, the most
popular one at present is using relatively short heads, for the Scandinavian
underhand casting style. Some like splicing up sink tips, others use
"multi-tip" systems with looüs etc.

You can find some excellent info here as well;

What you make up depends on your rod, your casting style, the proposed
target fish, and the circumtances in which you will be targetting it. River
types, depths, etc etc.

The info above should suffice to get you going.
