HighNDry Floatant Pretreatment
Pretreating your fly with our Floatant Pretreatment liquid allows you to 1) treat several flies at once at home after tying and 2) worry less about treating your fly when you get to the water. Our Floatant Pretreatment was designed to be as effective as our other floatant products, but with special and unique materials to allow it to dry on the surface of the fly as well as soak into the fly fibers. The large opening in the bottle allows the fly fisher to soak their fly and allows the fly to be completely covered with waterproof and buoyant barrier. Once submerged, you can remove the fly and set it aside to dry overnight before putting the prepared fly in your fly box. It works well on flies tied with all types of materials (including CDC). It contains no organic solvents and is odorless.

I’ve used this pretreatment on both dry flies and wet flies. It covers the entire fly evenly and keeps it floating well in water. The bottle is easy to use and the liquid doesn’t leave any residue. I can treat multiple flies at once, which saves time before fishing.

Works great with CDC and feather patterns. The drying process is simple—just soak, submerge, remove, and let it dry overnight. No smell, no mess. I noticed better float performance compared to regular floatant.

I used it on a batch of new flies I tied last weekend. After treating and drying overnight, they floated perfectly in the water. The product is easy to handle and effective without any chemical odor.
