Zap
Manufactured by Pacer Technology, Zap Adhesives has earned its status as a world leader in premium cyanoacrylate technology, with its legendary Zap-A-Gap CA+ formula serving as an indispensable staple in every fly fisherman's kit. Engineered for maximum versatility, this medium-viscosity, gap-filling super glue is designed to solve real-world problems both at the fly tying vise and on the riverbank. Unlike standard hardware-store adhesives that crack under stress, Zap-A-Gap is chemically optimized to form an incredibly tough, impact-resistant bond that handles moisture, temperature swings, and heavy friction in stride.
The brilliance of Zap-A-Gap CA+ lies in its unique ability to bridge minor gaps and bond dissimilar materials that don't perfectly match. This makes it the absolute gold standard for anchoring heavy dumbbell eyes, securing critical thread wraps on technical nymphs, coating knots for ultimate structural security, and making flawless, permanent fly-line splices. Its quick-setting properties allow anglers to perform rapid, field-expedient gear repairs in the middle of a hatch, letting you permanently fix a loose wading boot sole, mend a broken rod insert, or seal a split fly box latch in seconds.
Fly tiers and guides worldwide choose Zap because its incredible shear strength ensures that the gear you build or fix stays together through all-day use. To complement their flagship CA+ green bottle, Zap also engineers specialized accessory formulas, including water-thin variants for deep penetration and specialized accelerators to cure glue instantly. When you add Zap-A-Gap to your fly tying bench or chest pack, you are backing your gear with industrial-grade bonding power designed to outlast the teeth of aggressive fish and the heaviest river currents.
