Deer hair dubbing brushes

Recommended Posts

Has anyone here tried making deer hair dubbing brushes? I've tried without much success. I was wondering if there was some sort of trick to making them. I've seen them offered for sale in Europe so I know that it can be done.

 

Any tips greatly appreciated.

I've seen a guy tie a muddler with deer hair in a dubbing loop. It came out nice and sparse, which is good for a muddler, not so good for a deer hair popper.

Should work if the wire doesn't cut through the hairs. I tried twisting a brush with silicone legs and the brush wire cut through the silicone legs.

I have been doing it for a few years. At the end of my YouTube video you will see some examples of bucktail on a wire dubbing brush.

 

 

Here are a few of the flies.
