I am trying to force myself to degrease my leader more often when fishing dries and flies in the film.
The local fly shops used to carry a product called Sinket, or something like that. Rub it on the leader and it takes off the oils, and the leader is supposed to sink below the surface film of the water and become less visible to the fish.
First problem is that none of the numerous local shops carry the product anymore. Not a big seller, I am guessing...
Second problem is I would rather make it myself and save money...I was told once by an experience flyfisher that you mix pottery clay with a few drops of Kodak Photo Flo (a photographic film processing wetting agent), and voila, a sinket.
Does anyone have other formulas or suggestions on what to use to sink the tippet?
