Flies sit well on the surface or depending on how you use it, within the surface. My impression was that it lasted longer than my other go-to products, high and dry, or gink. When flies did submerge on the retrieve, the next cast saw the fly re-emerge on the surface, which is not always the case with all floatants.\"; Wayne\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#333333\" style=\"color: #333333;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eI am a great user of Musclin and I found your product not as thick and less vaseline like. It melts very quickly on the fingers thus enabling me to regulate the quantities to be applied. I have taken to fishing emergers mostly and it only needs a squeeze on the wings and hackle to ensure they float effectively. I do find that if I dry the fly gently when it does start to sink and then apply one of the floating powers this regenerates the floatability.\"; Steve\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#333333\" style=\"color: #333333;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAs part of my trial I have used the floatant both pre-prepared (i.e, applied the floatant some 10hrs prior to use) and I have also used it straight from the tin on the river bank.  Both methods gave me success and I am extremely happy with the application method. A much cleaner application, as I find use of the 'well named product' can be quite a messy procedure. Yesterday afternoon I also trialled dragging the fly back quickly so that it got submerged and then casting a few dummy casts prior to casting and the fly sat well upon the next cast without the need to dry using an elastic band or crystals.\"; Clive\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#333333\" style=\"color: #333333;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOne interesting point is that when using two rods on one of the stillwaters, I picked up what I thought was my floating line rod and tied on an emerger, which duly floated, but on seeing the line drop below the surface, realised that I had picked up the rod with a Di3 sweep line on it. However, the fly still floated, which struck me as being quite impressive as normally the fly would have gone under. I allowed it to float for a while, both amusing and impressing my wife and I, eventually having to retrieve it as opposed to it dropping below the surface, a testament to how effective the floatant is.\"; Wayne\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTOP TIP: \u003c\/strong\u003eIf you are tempting fish with a nymph, applying some Rubber Duck Gel will create a lifelike bubble around the nymph.  This will not only provide a more lifelike fly but the bubble will also reflect light to attract fish.  It's a great tip that should be used more and we recommend you try it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur Rubber Duck Gel Fly Floatant is supplied in a small 10ml screw-top tin.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRubber Duck Gel Fly Floatant \u003c\/strong\u003eis designed to work on all dry fly types, including CdC. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Barbless Flies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42767155265773,"sku":"BF-Rubber Duck-10","price":5.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1291\/2709\/products\/RubberDuckGelFloatant.png?v=1651498747"},{"product_id":"dry-fly-care-kit","title":"Dry Fly Care Kit","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen fishing with dry flies, the ability to keep the fly floating is essential.
