Fly-Rite Dilly Wax with Leash/Retractor
Fly-Rite Dilly Wax is a high-quality wax floatant for dry flies, designed to improve buoyancy and help protect fly materials from water absorption.
The special wax formula softens with the warmth of your fingers, allowing precise and controlled application to specific parts of the fly. After application, it creates a water-repellent layer that helps the dry fly remain stable on the water surface.
Fly-Rite Dilly Wax is especially effective on dry flies with poly yarn posts, hackle, and synthetic materials, but it also works well with classic dry fly patterns tied with natural materials. The product can additionally be used as a dressing for leaders and fly lines, as well as a tying wax.
The set includes a practical Leash/Retractor holder, keeping the wax easily accessible and ready for use directly on the water.

TIP FROM FlyFishing.bgWax floatants allow very precise application. With small dry flies, the amount of product is critical – a thin layer on the right areas often performs better than heavy coating. |
