FAQs

How often should I apply Gink to my dry flies?

Reapply Gink as needed, typically every few casts or when you notice the fly starting to sink.

How much Xink should I use?

Apply a small amount of Xink to nymphs and other subsurface flies, just enough to aid sinking without making them too heavy.

Can I use Gink and Xink on the same fly?

No, Gink is designed for floatation, and Xink is for sinking. Applying them simultaneously would be counterproductive.

Are these products safe for the environment?

These products are designed with environmental considerations in mind, but always follow local guidelines for responsible fishing practices.

How long will the effects of Gink and Xink last?

The duration of the effects depends on factors like water conditions and fly materials. Reapplication may be necessary during longer fishing sessions.

Can I use Gink and Xink in saltwater?

Yes, both Gink and Xink are suitable for use in both freshwater and saltwater environments.

Troubleshooting

Dry flies are still sinking.

Reapply Gink, ensuring the entire fly is coated, or try a different dry fly pattern.

Subsurface flies are not sinking effectively.

Ensure the Xink is evenly applied and not too thick. Check the weight of your leader and tippet; adjust as needed.

Products appear to be losing effectiveness over time.

Check the expiration date and ensure proper storage. Consider replacing the product if it has been exposed to extreme temperatures or has been open for an extended period.
