The Umpqua Link Drydock Floatant Holder attaches directly to fly fishing vests, packs, or lanyards to carry standard half-ounce gel floatant bottles. It utilizes a molded silicone body that stretches over the bottle to create a secure, friction-based grip. The holder dictates an inverted carry position, automatically forcing the liquid or gel toward the dispensing cap.
Key Features
- Constructed from durable, stretchable molded silicone
- Sized specifically for standard half-ounce floatant bottles
- Inverted orientation keeps floatant primed at the nozzle
- Integrated attachment loop connects to carabiners, clips, or zingers
- UV-resistant material prevents cracking and degradation over time
Why We Like It
The inverted design removes the need to aggressively shake a cold, half-empty bottle to move the gel down to the cap. By keeping the floatant pooled directly at the opening, anglers can quickly dispense exactly what they need, treat their dry flies, and return to casting without breaking their rhythm.
The silicone construction offers a notable advantage over rigid plastic holders by conforming tightly to the bottle, preventing the floatant from slipping out during heavy wading or hiking. Its flexible, minimalist profile also reduces the chance of catching your fly line while stripping, keeping your rigging area organized and functional.
