FLY FLOATANTS & SINKANTS
Keep your dry flies buoyant longer & get your nymphs to depth fast
The fish are rising like crazy, but after a few fish your best dry fly pattern is no longer floating? Special swim preparations will help you to get your fly dry again in no time and float up high so you can continue fishing successfully. In the same way, the buoyancy of your floating fly lines can be improved so that you can mend the line longer and more easily. Properly maintained fly lines can be cast further and are more durable. In this product category you will also find proven sinking agents to quickly bring your nymphs to depth or to degrease the tip of your dry fly leader and make it more inconspicuous. For efficient weighting of your rigs and flies, we have everything you need, from Tungsten Putty to Cheburashkas.
FLOATANTS & SINKANTS FOR FLY FISHING
OPTIMAL FLY PRESENTATION STARTS WITH THE RIGHT PREPARATION
Whether you're fishing dry flies, nymphs, streamers or modern Euro nymphs, the way your fly behaves in the water often determines your success. While floatants help dry flies remain buoyant for longer, sinkants allow leaders and flies to break through the surface film more quickly and reach the desired depth. Combined with specialised care products and versatile weighting solutions, they allow you to fine-tune your fly presentation to suit the water, current and target species.
In this category, you'll find high-quality floatants and sinkants, fly dryers, tungsten putty, camouflage weights, Cheburashka weights, products for fly line and rod care, as well as practical bottle holders that keep your essentials within easy reach on the water.
FLOATANTS AND FLY DRYERS FOR MAXIMUM BUOYANCY
Dry flies only perform at their best when they float naturally and reliably. Quality floatants waterproof both natural and synthetic materials, reduce water absorption and significantly extend buoyancy, even after repeated drifts. Depending on the application, gels, liquids and pastes are available to suit different fly patterns and materials.
Fly dryers are just as important, allowing waterlogged dry flies to be restored within seconds. They remove moisture from the fly, revive its natural floating properties and save valuable fishing time, especially during intense hatches when fish are feeding actively.
SINKANTS AND ADDITIONAL WEIGHTS FOR FASTER DEPTH CONTROL
Whenever flies need to reach the strike zone quickly, specialised sinkants become invaluable. They remove grease from leaders and flies, help them penetrate the surface film more efficiently and accelerate the sink rate of nymphs and wet flies. This can make a significant difference when fishing deep pools or fast-flowing water.
For even greater flexibility, tungsten putty, discreet camouflage weights and versatile Cheburashka weights allow you to adjust the weight of your setup without making permanent changes to your fly or leader. Both the amount and position of the weight can be adapted at any time to match water depth, current speed or fish behaviour.
FLY LINE AND ROD CARE FOR LONG-LASTING PERFORMANCE
Regular maintenance not only extends the life of your equipment but also improves its overall performance. Fly line cleaners remove dirt and deposits, reduce friction in the guides and restore the smoothness and casting performance of your fly line. Dedicated care products also help protect modern fly lines from premature wear.
Fly rod care products keep blanks and finishes clean while protecting your equipment over the long term. With just a little routine maintenance, high-quality tackle will continue to perform reliably season after season.
PRACTICAL HOLDERS FOR FLOATANTS AND SINKANTS
When wading or changing flies frequently, having your floatant or sinkant close at hand makes a real difference. Practical bottle holders securely attach small containers to your vest, sling pack or backpack, keeping them easily accessible while preventing them from getting lost or buried inside your gear.
With the right combination of floatants, sinkants, maintenance products and practical accessories, you'll be prepared for virtually any situation on the water. Optimise your fly presentation, keep your tackle in excellent condition and adapt quickly to changing fishing conditions.
