由 David Gilbert The Guup Cup Fly Fishing Floatant is a popular product among fly anglers designed to keep dry flies floating high on the water’s surface. Here’s what you should know about it:
Key Features:
– Non-Toxic & Eco-Friendly – Safe for fish and the environment.
– Long-Lasting – Helps flies stay buoyant even after multiple casts.
– Easy Application – Comes in a convenient cup-style container for quick and mess-free use.
– Works on All Fly Types – Effective on natural and synthetic materials like CDC, hackle, and foam.
– Water-Resistant Formula – Repels water without gumming up fly details.
How to Use:
1. Dip & Dab – Press your dry fly into the Guup Cup’s sponge-like interior to apply floatant.
2. Gently Squeeze (if needed) – For heavily dressed flies, a light squeeze can help distribute the floatant.
3. False Cast – A few quick casts help spread the product evenly before presentation.
Why Choose Guup Cup?
– No Spills – Unlike liquid floatants, the cup design prevents leaks in your vest or pack.
– No Over-Application – Reduces the risk of clogging fly details compared to gels or pastes.
– Reusable & Durable – The container lasts a long time and is refillable in some versions.
Alternatives:
– Liquid Floatants (e.g., Loon Aquel) – Good for pre-treating flies but can be messy.
– Gel/Paste Floatants (e.g., Gink) – Effective but may require careful application.
– Dry Shake Products (e.g., Frog’s Fanny) – Best for rejuvenating waterlogged flies.
Best For:
– Anglers who fish fast-moving water or need quick reapplication.
– Those who prefer a no-mess, portable solution.
If you’re looking for a reliable, easy-to-use floatant that keeps flies dry all day, the Guup Cup is a solid choice. Pair it with a desiccant powder (like Fly Agra) for even better performance on soggy flies.
