Quick take
Powder floatant that creates a hydrophobic coating on dry flies with a simple shake.
This is a powder floatant and drying agent for dry flies, made by Serious Angler in the USA. A few shakes coat the fly so it floats high again, which suits trout anglers whose flies get waterlogged mid-session. It comes in a compact 3-inch shaker that holds 30 grams and slips into a vest pocket.
Best for
- Reviving soggy dry flies between casts
- CDC (cul-de-canard) flies that lose buoyancy quickly
