I've found that Antron posts get waterlogged and then the fly will not
ride correctly so I've stopped using it for that purpose. The best
post will be made out of a hydrophobic material that's lighter than
water.

Stan, does polypropylene absorb and hold water? I've never tried it
for a post.

Polypro doesn't absorb water (in my experience). A friend has turned me on
to turkey flats for posts and while those do suck up water, I've found it's
not a problem if you give the post a good shot of head cement and grease it
up.

The best in terms of floatation might be a thin strip of 2mm closed cell
foam. I've experimented with two strips (orange and white) which is really
easy to see. This gives me a good idea for a swap fly...
