Guideline ULS+ Multi-Tip Kit

Product detailed description

Guideline ULS+ Multi-Tip Kit is a compact multi-tip fly line system designed for anglers who want one flexible line setup for single-hand rods, light switch rods, trout spey, salmon, sea trout and lighter streamer fishing. It gives you the advantage of a floating body combined with interchangeable tips, so you can quickly change depth, swing speed and presentation without replacing the whole fly line.

The ULS+ system is built for fishing situations where a normal full-length line situations where a normal full-length line can feel too long, too slow or too difficult to manage. It is especially useful in tight spaces, smaller rivers, tree-lined banks, short casting windows and technical water where a compact line system gives better control. The line loads the rod quickly, shoots very efficiently and keeps the casting rhythm easy to understand.

The kit includes a floating ULS+ body and three different 10' / 4 g interchangeable tips: Float, Intermediate and Sink 3. This gives the angler three very practical presentation options straight from the box. The floating tip keeps the fly high in the water column, the intermediate tip cuts the surface and slows the swing slightly, and the Sink 3 tip helps the fly fish deeper when current speed, temperature or water level demand it.

Compared with a fixed floating line, this system is much more adaptable. Instead of carrying several complete lines or changing the whole setup, you can simply change the front tip. That makes the ULS+ Multi-Tip Kit very useful for salmon, sea trout and trout spey fishing, where water depth, current speed and fish position can change quickly during the day.

The new ULS+ generation builds on the former ULS multi-tip system, but with improved body lengths, more refined taper design and a more supple coating with lower memory. The result is a better length-to-weight ratio, more stable casting and less coiling in cold conditions. This matters especially when fishing in early season, colder weather or situations where line memory would otherwise make presentation and line handling more difficult.

The body is built on Guideline’s proprietary core with only 6% stretch, while the included tips use a low-stretch mono core. This gives the system a more direct feel during casting, swinging and fishing. The angler gets better contact with the fly, clearer feedback from the line and more control when adjusting the swing across current seams.

The tips are built as full single-density tips. This is important because short tips sink more effectively when the entire tip has one consistent density. It helps the tip fish properly rather than creating a broken angle or unstable hinge in front of the body. For additional density options, the system is also compatible with suitable 10' / 4 g Scandi Tips and ULS Tips.

The #5/6 version is the lightest model in the range and makes sense for light single-hand rods, trout spey, smaller rivers and stealthy presentations. It gives enough mass to load the rod efficiently with a compact head, while keeping the setup light and controlled.

The #6/7 version is a very practical choice for single-hand sea trout, light salmon fishing and stronger trout setups. It gives a little more authority than the #5/6 while still remaining compact, easy to cast and suitable for smaller or more technical water.

The #7/8 version moves into light switch territory. It is useful for salmon, sea trout, steelhead-style fishing, larger streamers and situations where a normal single-hand line does not provide enough control or turnover. It is a strong match for compact switch rods and shorter spey-style presentations.

The #8/9 version is the strongest model in the ULS+ Multi-Tip Kit range. It is designed for heavier single-hand rods, light switch rods, larger flies and situations where stronger turnover and better line control are needed. It still keeps the compact ULS character, but with more power in the system.

Inside the package you will find a floating ULS+ body, three 10' / 4 g tips in Float, Intermediate and Sink 3, and a zippered mesh wallet with individual compartments. The wallet keeps the body and tips organised, protects them during transport and makes density changes quick and practical on the water.

The greatest advantage of this kit is adaptability. With one body and three tips, the angler can cover surface work, near-surface presentation and deeper fishing without changing the whole line. This makes it a very efficient system for rivers where depth, current and fish position change during the day.

Compared with separate Scandi Tips, the ULS+ Multi-Tip Kit gives you a complete ready-matched package with body, tips and wallet. Compared with a standard WF line, it provides more depth control, better spey-style efficiency and a more adaptable system for swing fishing. This makes it a strong choice for anglers who want to explore ULS, trout spey, light salmon or switch fishing with one practical line system.

Frequently Asked Questions – Guideline ULS+ Multi-Tip Kit

What is Guideline ULS+ Multi-Tip Kit used for?

It is used as a compact multi-tip line system for single-hand rods, light switch rods, trout spey, salmon, sea trout and streamer fishing. It is especially useful when you need quick depth changes and controlled swing presentations.

What is included in the kit?

The kit includes a floating ULS+ body, three 10' / 4 g tips in Float, Intermediate and Sink 3, and a zippered mesh wallet with individual compartments.

Which line weight should I choose?

Choose #5/6 for lighter single-hand rods and trout spey, #6/7 for stronger single-hand sea trout or light salmon setups, #7/8 for light switch rods, and #8/9 for stronger switch or larger-fly applications.

What does the multi-tip system do?

The body loads the rod and creates the main casting profile, while the interchangeable tip controls depth and presentation. By changing the tip, you can adapt the fly to different current speeds, water levels and fishing depths.

Can I use additional tips with this kit?

Yes. Guideline notes that the kit works with suitable 10' / 4 g Scandi Tips and ULS Tips. This allows you to expand the system with more density options beyond the three tips supplied in the package.

Is it suitable for beginners?

Yes. The compact body, refined taper and easy-loading design make the system user-friendly. It is a good introduction to light spey, switch and multi-tip fishing without requiring a full salmon shooting-head setup.

How is this different from a normal WF fly line?

A normal WF line has a fixed front section. The ULS+ Multi-Tip Kit lets you change the front tip, which gives much more control over fishing depth and swing speed.

Are the body and tips looped?

Yes. The system is pre-looped, making it easy to connect and change tips quickly using loop-to-loop connections.

Does the line have ID marking?

Yes. The system includes ID marking, which helps identify the correct model and makes it easier to organise several line components on the water.
