{"product_id":"gerhkes-xink-fly-sinkant","title":"Gerhkes Xink Fly Sinkant","description":"\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eA specialised liquid degreaser and sinking agent engineered to neutralise the natural buoyancy of flies, leaders, and tippets, ensuring immediate sub-surface penetration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eGehrke's Xink is the functional counterpart to the world-famous Gink flotant. While flotants are designed to keep flies on the surface, Xink is a \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"146\"\u003edeep-penetrating wetting agent\u003c\/b\u003e that breaks the surface tension of the water. When applied to a fly, it allows the materials to become saturated instantly, causing the fly to sink naturally rather than being held up by trapped air bubbles or dry hackles. It is particularly effective for \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"433\"\u003enymphs, streamers, and wet flies\u003c\/b\u003e that need to reach the \"strike zone\" quickly. Xink is also widely used by technical anglers to treat leaders and tippets, eliminating the \"shiny\" surface glint and allowing the line to sink just below the surface film for a more stealthy presentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eKey Technical Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp
