tidewaterfly 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2014 The fact is because of the way that commercially produced dubbing is made en masse, there's going to be a variance in consistency. Natural materials are inconsistent to begin with as Joel pointed out. The only way to get consistent dubbing is either make your own, or buy several packs of the commercial dubbing & blend your own. Either way, you have to make the effort or live with what's available ready made. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the.atmos 0 Report post Posted April 13, 2014 The best tying materials I've come across (better than average across the board) is Nature's Spirit tying materials. Whatever it is; pelts, dubbing, tailings, all things natural... simply the best. Hareline is always a hit or miss to me. In a bag of dubbing from Hareline you get varying amount of guard hairs and under-fur so consistency in your finished flies won't be there. Except to pay about .25 more per bag of dubbing from Nature's Spirit but it's the best out there. You sound like a rep for Nature's Spirit to me. You sound paranoid to me. What's wrong with pointing out the inequities of one brand and recommending another? This message board was made exactly for this type of thing. People want to know, so I'll tell them my opinion.
