FLY FLOATANTS & SINKANTS
Keep your dry flies buoyant longer & get your nymphs to depth fast
With the SOFT TUNGSTEN PUTTY from hotfly you can send your flies deep and down quickly and easily. The tungsten paste can be shaped with the fingers and becomes soft due to body temperature. This allows you to apply the desired amount and shape of weighting to the leader and, for example, fish light and easy nymphs close to the bottom. The three available colours of the SOFT TUNGSTEN PUTTY allow you to perfectly match the weight to the substrate and thus to camouflage it additionally. Tungsten has a higher specific weight than lead, so the same weight can be smaller and therefore more inconspicuous. Unlike lead, tungsten is also non-toxic and therefore safe for the environment. This tungsten paste is reusable. Each tin of SOFT TUNGSTEN PUTTY contains 15 grams.
Floating substances such as grease, oils and silicones increase the flotation of your fly line and dry flies. In addition, thanks to their curative function, they prolong the life of your line.
Chemical sinkers degrease the sinking leader to ensure faster submersion of wet flies, nymphs and streamers.
Mechanical sinkers are nothing more than tungsten ballasts, which are applied at an appropriate distance from the fly.
