Fly Tying Dubbings – A Wide Range of High-Quality Materials for Creating Flies

Fly tying dubbings are essential materials used by fly anglers to build bodies and other elements of artificial flies. Due to their versatility, dubbings can be used in dry flies, wet flies, nymphs, and streamers alike. In our store, we offer a wide selection of dubbings from renowned brands such as FFGene, Hareline, Spirit River, Sybai, and Wapsi, known for their top quality, rich color palettes, and diverse textures.

Advantages of Fly Tying Dubbings – Why Are They So Popular?

Fly tying dubbings are highly versatile materials valued by fly anglers worldwide. Their popularity stems from the numerous benefits they offer during fly tying:

• Versatility – Dubbings can be used in almost any type of fly, from dry to wet flies, as well as streamers and nymphs. Dubbing allows for easy body formation, giving the angler full control over the fly’s appearance and proportions.
• Natural Look – With a wide variety of dubbings, from natural furs to synthetic fibers, anglers can create flies that realistically mimic the texture and color of insects, small fish, and other aquatic organisms. Animal fur dubbings, such as rabbit or squirrel, excellently replicate the natural texture of insect bodies.
• Ease of Use – Dubbings are one of the simplest materials to use in fly tying. Even a beginner fly angler can quickly master the technique of applying dubbing to the thread, creating bodies of the desired thickness and shape.
• Color Variety – Dubbings come in a wide range of colors, allowing precise matching of the fly to the insects at the fishing site or creating contrasting, eye-catching flies. Synthetic dubbings often include shiny elements that enhance the fly's attractiveness in the water.
• Adaptability to Various Conditions – Dubbings can be chosen for different fishing techniques. Lightweight dubbings, such as rabbit fur, are ideal for dry flies that need to float on the water’s surface. In contrast, thicker, fibrous dubbings are perfect for wet flies and nymphs, imitating more robust insect bodies submerged in water.
• Diverse Textures – Dubbings are available in various textures, allowing for tailoring the fly to specific needs. Synthetic fibers can add shine and durability, while natural dubbings offer a more subtle, matte finish.

Types of Dubbings Available in Our Offer

• Natural Dubbings – Made from natural furs like rabbit, opossum, or squirrel. They are perfect for creating wet flies and nymphs, where a matte, natural appearance is essential. These furs have good water absorption, helping to build realistic bodies.
• Synthetic Dubbings – Crafted from modern synthetic fibers known for their durability and better visibility in water. Synthetic dubbings give flies an additional shine, which attracts predatory fish, especially in streamers and wet flies.
• Blended Dubbings – A combination of the best features of natural furs with synthetic additives. These dubbings are excellent for situations where the fly needs to be both delicate and shiny, perfectly imitating insects and their movements in the water.

Application of Dubbings in Fly Tying

Fly tying dubbings have various applications depending on the technique and type of fly the angler aims to create:

• Dry Fly – In dry flies, dubbing is used to build lightweight bodies that help the fly float on the water’s surface. Natural dubbings, like rabbit fur, are popular for their lightness and floating ability.
• Wet Flies and Nymphs – More fibrous dubbings, such as squirrel fur or synthetic fibers, give the flies the right volume and texture, making them more attractive to fish feeding below the surface.
• Streamers – In streamers, dubbings are often used as an addition to create larger bodies that mimic small fish or leeches. Synthetic dubbings, especially those with shiny fibers, are highly effective at attracting predators.
