Quick take
Heavy-duty nylon caddy with swivel clip that holds Gink floatant upside down for easy access on the water.
This combo pairs a half-ounce bottle of Gink dry fly floatant with a black nylon webbing caddy that carries the bottle upside down. A swivel clip attaches it to a vest, sling, lanyard or pack so the floatant stays within reach on the water. It suits dry fly anglers who want their floatant handy instead of buried in a pocket.
Best for
- Fly fishers on streams where frequent reapplication is needed
- Waders with pockets or fishing vests
Skip if
- You fish wet flies or nymphs exclusively; floatant is not needed
- You already have multiple floatant bottles; caddy holds one
Strengths
- Gink gel is the most widely used dry fly floatant
- Upside-down bottle position prevents spillage and saves drops
- Swivel clip fits any vest or pack without modification
Trade-offs
- Nylon webbing will wear out with repeated use over seasons
- 1/2 oz bottle runs dry on a full day of heavy floatant use
- Velcro may collect debris on the water
