Floatants & Sinkets

Gink is one of the most well known dry fly floatants, and is also extremely effective at skating salmon and steelhead streamers.

Gink is a gel at room temperature, but will liquify at skin temperature. Once the floatant comes back in contact with water, it returns to a clear, waterproof gel that will help your dry flies float high and dry.

Double Duty Fly Treatment.  Great stuff.  We use this to treat dry flies AND nymphs.  When treating dries, the brush applicator allows the powder to be worked into every nook and cranny.  Treating nymphs will put an air bubble around them that looks like an emerging insect. Doubtful?  Try it -- or don't.

Flies treated with Henry’s Sinket quickly break surface tension and rapidly drop in the water column to where the fish are. It helps nymphs get deep, where they roll along the bottom as naturally dislodged nymphs would. It’s especially effective on streamers, getting flies down on the first cast rather than waiting until the materials become saturated. Henry’s Sinket is completely biodegradable.

• Liquid sinking agent
• Helps break surface water tension so flies sinks faster
• Gets streamers down fast
• Helps nymphs roll naturally on bottom
• 1.5 oz
