Does antron fairly floatable?

Antron doesn't float. It is denser than water. If you need floatation
in a
yarn you might want to try polypropylene.

Wasnt it a mistake then for the flyshop to give me antron for parachute
posts?

Not really. The post isn't there for floatation but as a post. The hackle
should float the fly in the surface tension. Hooks don't float so good
either and we all use themg White Antron makes a pretty good post, but
it's a bit too crinkly for me to work with - it sure is visible though. I
prefer polypro. It comes down to your own preference.
