Shimazaki Dry Shake White
The Shimazaki Dry Shake is the only fly floatant that can give your fly not just water-repellency but true flotation by air among microparticles.
Put the fly in Shimazaki Dry Shake and shake it vigorously for several times. The fly becomes thoroughly water repellent to the tip of hackle fiber and sits on the surface film exactly as a natural insect does. No sinking.

FAQ
How does Shimazaki Dry Shake provide true flotation?
Shimazaki Dry Shake creates true flotation by air among microparticles, allowing the fly to sit on the surface film rather than sinking. This mimics how natural insects behave on water.
Can I use this with all types of flies?
Yes, it is compatible with most fly types. The key is to shake the fly vigorously for several times to ensure full water repellency and proper flotation.
Is the effect immediate after mixing?
The effect becomes visible after shaking the fly vigorously for several times. Full water repellency and floating behavior develop with proper treatment.

Sebastian Hemmings –
Used Shimazaki Dry Shake White on my dry flies and noticed immediate improvement. The flies stay on top of the water without sinking, which is exactly how natural insects behave. After shaking them thoroughly, they look natural and float perfectly.
Alexandra Black –
This product works as advertised. I’ve tried several floatants before, but this one gives true air-based flotation. My flies now stay afloat and look realistic on the water surface.
Phil Peters –
Good results after following the shaking instructions. The flies become water-repellent and float well, though I need to shake them a bit longer than expected for full effect.
Melanie Baker –
Highly satisfied with the performance. The fly tips stay dry and the entire fly floats on the surface. It’s a reliable product for dry fly fishing in wet conditions.
