Gene L 0 Report post Posted December 14, 2023 I don't use hard to find dubbing, bud would like to try seal. I understand it's not the easiest thing to dub. It's legal in Canada and England, but not here in the US. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

niveker 0 Report post Posted December 14, 2023 For the vast majority of the time, I think it only makes a difference to the tyer, not to the fish. But that's one of the things that makes this hobby so much fun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The dubbing that's hard to find is the package that has fallen back behind the drawer. A dubbing I like that is no longer available is Ligas Scintilla. Dubbings that are rare, but I don't really care about, would be Tup's and urine stained vixen fox. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve got that vixen fur, I’ll find that original Tupps one day. I may buy goats or sheep lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Feathers MC has it (USA) https://feathersmc.com/product/seal-dubbing/ eFlytyer too (USA) https://eflytyer.com/product/badger-creek-real-seal-fur-dubbing-fur-assortment-dispenser/ Not sure how it's legal but if these two reputable shops sell it I'm pretty sure it is.

Poopdeck 0 Report post Posted December 14, 2023 I have never said to myself, “I wonder where I can find some hand plucked winter ass hair of a hibernating grizzly bear.” I don’t get into the weeds of fly tying and have never given rare or hard to find fuzz a single thought until now. I’ll stick with the not so rare and easy to find stuff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
