The PAYETTE PASTE from loon outdoors is an excellent floatant paste with multiple fields of use. In fact, it can be used on fishing leader, tippet, fly line and artificial flies, it can also be used as a temporary treatment for damaged fly line. The paste should be rubbed with your fingers over the area where you want to apply it and it will guarantee an excellent floatability.
