  Gehrke's Xink
Gehrke’s XINK® may well be the most revolutionary invention in Fly-Fishing since the discovery of “the hook.” This product eliminates the need of lead used in nymphs and wet fly patterns. XINK® is the only patented Fly Sink in the world. All other products are soap. XINK® is amazing because it is wetter than water without washing off, which was until invented by George Gehrke, a chemical impossibility.
Yes, XINK® is unique.
XINK® is simple to use. Before getting your underwater fly “wet”, simply dress it with a little XINK®. Your wet fly is then condemned to sink forever. At least, this is what serious nymph fishermen are now doing along with the pros.
Why XINK®? What are the advantages, really? Consider the following.
A lead-wrapped nymph will:
Go slower than the river current passing by. It is dragging because the nymph's specific gravity is grossly separated from the density of water.
A nymph dressed with just XINK® will sink just as fast, if not faster than a nymph with lead wraps inside it.
The nymph that is lightly dressed with just XINK® will tumble along in a current more naturally than a lead-weighted one. Often, our customers catch 3 fish for every one compared to the old method. Lead weighted flies also tend to ride up side down and drag unnaturally.
XINK® will also sink tippets and leaders except the super hard/slick brands. XINK® works great with Maxima hand-tied leaders and tippets. XINK® also increases the sinking rates of sinking tip and full length SINKING fly lines. In fact, it's almost a miracle on its ability for a fly fisherman to go deep, and fast! Shortened leaders, which contain 18 inches each of butt, taper, and tippet lengths, allow close, controlled tracking with increased fish strikes throughout the day when using sinking lines.
XINK® is fully guaranteed to satisfy. Going fly fishing without XINK® is like going dry fly fishing without your ® dry fly dressing. Drifting a fly under water properly is just as important as doing it right on the surface. Never leave home without it.
