Hends CDC Gel Dry Fly Floatant
Hends CDC Gel is a specialized gel floatant for dry flies, developed specifically for treating CDC feathers and other delicate fly tying materials. It improves water repellency and helps keep the fly riding high on the water surface during fishing.
The formula is designed to avoid clumping fine CDC fibers while preserving their natural volume and movement. This makes it an excellent choice for delicate dry flies where proper buoyancy and natural presentation are essential.
A small amount of Hends CDC Gel is enough to effectively treat the fly, improving surface performance and extending the time between drying treatments.

TIP FROM FlyFishing.bgCDC flies are valued for their natural movement and buoyancy, but they require proper maintenance. Use only a small amount of floatant and avoid excessive coating of the feathers – this allows the fly to retain its natural behavior on the water. |
