Gehrke's Xink Sinkant Fly Sinkant
Gehrke's Xink Sinkant is a legendary sinking agent for flies, leaders, and tippets, designed to help wet flies, nymphs, and streamers quickly break through the surface and reach the desired water layer.
Developed as the sinking counterpart to the popular Gink Floatant, Xink uses a special formula that allows treated flies to absorb water and sink effectively without the need for additional weight.
Gehrke's Xink is suitable for nymphs, wet flies, and streamers, as well as for treating leaders and tippets. Only a small amount of product is required to help the fly break the surface film and begin working at the chosen depth.
When used with streamers, the product can help create more natural underwater behavior by allowing the fly to sink and move realistically without unnecessary additional weight.
