由 Aaron Honaker It looks like you’re referring to “Loon Payette Paste”, a popular fly fishing product used as a line and leader floatant. Here’s a quick breakdown of what it is and how it’s used:
What is Loon Payette Paste?
– A waterproofing paste designed to keep fly lines and leaders floating.
– Works on monofilament, fluorocarbon, and fly lines (not just tippets).
– Helps prevent sinking and waterlogging, improving presentation.
Key Features:
✔ Long-lasting – Stays effective longer than liquid floatants.
✔ Easy to Apply – Rub a small amount onto your line/leader before fishing.
✔ Non-Toxic & Eco-Friendly – Safe for fish and the environment.
✔ Works in Cold Weather – Unlike some liquid floatants that thicken in low temps.
How to Use:
1. Before fishing, apply a pea-sized amount to your fingers.
2. Rub it evenly along the last few feet of your leader and fly line.
3. Buff off excess with a cloth for a smooth finish.
Best For:
– Dry fly fishing (keeps your line afloat for better drifts).
– Nymphing with a floating indicator.
– Preventing ice buildup in cold weather.
Why Choose Loon Payette Paste?
– More durable than sprays or gels.
– Doesn’t dry out or gum up like some silicone-based floatants.
