I use them on caddis ( hight float fibres)attachicon.gifDSCN0185.JPG

 

Retro, are those antenna made from mono strands ?

I used micro fibbets or you could use paintbrush bristles

I have fibbets,

 

 

 

 

thanks ! It looks good incidentally.

 

Why thank you :)

I found the tutorial below to help me the most when I started dubbing.

 

There's no way in HELL I'd click that link Bimini... ;) You could get a nasty computer virus or they'd want your credit card number.... :P

 

 

 

I rarely use dubbing wax any more. Just roll it sparsely on the thread. Start with way less than you think you need and build the body up slowly.

This is more like it.

I did spin the dubbing right on the thread this time. I was not tying any pattern in particular, but the dubbing looks more like what I thought it should look.

Still too much?

Great Work Bimini

 

I have been tying for 3 years and am still learning when it comes to dubbing different materials correctly

 

Cheers

You are in good shape then. I have been tying for ten, and this crappy dubbing job is all I have to show for it... :)

 

Thanks for the videos, Flytire. Right on to watch now.

Until flytire posted the link at limpcobra I was going back and forth to it at the internet waybackmachine

I've found lots of old articles mentioned on fly boards, I thought I'd downloaded it to a .pdf file but I think I did it at work and I've been on vacation for the last 40 days!! i'll check when I go back next week.
