Does anyone use this on your sub surface flies?
no. beads or split shot work for me
Yes, for egg patterns fished to Erie steel.
little mud or a little spit...either works
I agree on the MUD which I guess is a sink aid so ....yes. I have use Xink before, but didn't notice it being a big advantage.
Mud seems to be the handiest, or just wet the fly before casting and keep false casts to a minimum.

I figured this was just another gadget for them to get our money, but didn't want to miss out on a little trick.
I'm with Normand on this one - no "sinkant" necessary.

I'm convinced Xink is just Kodak Photo Flo which is more or less dish washer detergent, diluted.
I christen my subsurface flies with a rub of stream mud. It not only helps them sink, but also masks odors and most importantly, it gives me confidence and brings good luck :-)
