Quick take
A silicone-based floatant that keeps fly lines and floating flies buoyant during long fishing sessions.
This silicone paste is a classic fly-fishing dressing that works on both fly line and dry flies. Rub it onto a plastic-coated line to help it ride higher and shed water, or work a little into a fly's hackle to keep it floating. Expect it to be firmer in cold weather and softer in warm, and it comes in a small can that slips into a vest.
