micro-brite dubbing ? ? ?

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I am a newbie so not up to date on all the products out there. I am presently tying panfish flies from Chris Helm's panfish fly video. The nymph receipe calls for red micro-brite dubbing. Don't find it in most on line catalogs. If i goggle it, it only seems to be available in UK (england) shops. Is there a source in the U.S.? If not, what is a good substitute? Thanks for your help.

You could try using Spirit River's Lite Brite dubbing as a substitute. I believe it's about the same thing. It comes in 6" hacks or as a dubbing material.

if you look at the photos online of micro brite dubbing it looks to be a type of chenille and they actually called it a thread

this lucent chenille in the small size looks very similar to the micro brite thread
