Gehrke's™ GInk

Float like a pro, even when the fish are grading your casting skills. Gehrke’s GInk® is the original dry-fly dressing that actually makes flies stay afloat—repeatedly. Perfect for anglers who’d rather fool trout than explain to friends why their fly sank.

Who it’s for: fly-fishing purists, weekend warriors, and anyone who believes a well-dressed dry fly is the difference between a story and a soggy sock. Built for Life, Adventure-Ready and the kind of anglers who expect gear to earn its keep.

Key Features & Design

• First safe commercial dry-fly dressing — proven to float flies repeatedly without sketchy shortcuts.
• Liquid emulsifier — penetrates deep into the body material of dry flies for reliable performance.
• Works on all main materials — coats synthetic bodies and penetrates fur and feather for versatile use.
• Reactive with cold water — formulated to change behavior on contact with cold water (see product instructions for full details).

Performance & Benefits

Gehrke's GInk® stops you from losing flies to the deep end. By penetrating or coating the fly’s materials, it restores buoyancy and keeps the hackle high and proud. That means less chasing down wet flies and more time watching fish swipe at your masterpiece.

This stuff is built for the kind of conditions that make other dressings tap out: chilly streams, long casts, and the occasional questionable decision at dusk. It helps your flies shed water and keep floating so you can focus on the parts of fishing that matter—like pretending you meant to land that cast on the first try.

AXG Life tip: toss a bottle in your vest and call it preventive maintenance for your ego.

Ready to Upgrade

Add Gehrke’s GInk® to your kit and stop apologizing to trout. Toss it in your fly box and make your next drift the one people talk about—preferably around a campfire where you can embellish the rest.
