Gink Floatant
Gink is the original floatant and has remained unchanged for more than 50 years. We suggest it as a far better performing alternative.
Gink® is a must-have for every angler who wants to keep their dry flies floating high. Simply apply the Gink to the dubbing, hackle, wings, or legs on any dry fly to restore the flies’ buoyancy and natural surface drift. This popular floatant is environmentally safe and comes with a convenient dispenser cap that prevents the product from leaking into your vest or chest pack.

I’ve used Gink Floatant on my dry flies for over a year now. It keeps the flies floating high without any oily residue. Even my bare hooks stay afloat. No smell, no mess, and it works well in both still and moving water.
Matt Greene –
Great product for anglers who want reliable float performance. Applied it to my hackles and wings, and the flies drift naturally. The dispenser cap is a small but useful detail that prevents leaks.
Michelle Smith –
Works well on standard dry flies. A bit harder to apply evenly on thin dubbing, but overall effective. No odor and doesn’t make the hackle sticky.

I switched from an older floatant and noticed a big difference in how my flies behave on the surface. The natural drift is much more realistic. Highly recommend for dry fly anglers.
