breambuster 0 Report post Posted February 6, 2017 I would like to hear from someone who has used Senyo's Lazer Dub. Basically, I need to know what the texture is like. I use Davy Wooton SLF dub to tie the Chris Helms Predator. The texture is pretty stiff and the dubbed body looks pretty "buggy." However, the Davy Wotton is pretty tough to come by, but my mail order supplier carries the Senyo's. And is a color that I think will work. The Davy Wotton that I use is Fl Lime Green, and I can get the Senyo's in Fl Chartreuse. Would the Senyo's give me a "buggy" appearance? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
planettrout 0 Report post Posted February 6, 2017 I use both DW SLF and Sanyo's Laser Dub for various patterns. The Senyo's has a bit "softer" texture but give a nice buggy appearance when brushed out...this is Laser Dub (Lt. Olive) in a dubbing loop over Chartreuse D-Rib for the abdomen and then brushed out with velcro on a popsicle stick: Materials... I get both of those dubbings from Bob Marriott's, here in Los Angeles... PT/TB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Poopdeck 0 Report post Posted February 6, 2017 It's 3 bucks a pack. I like it I think it's buggy but it may not be buggy enough for you. For 3 bucks check it out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hazathor 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2017 I like and use Laser Dub and it seems like it'll do what you want. For something a little stiffer and with plenty of flash, if that's what you're looking for, I really like Ice Dub. Might be worth checking out if your supplier carries it.

Philly 0 Report post Posted February 8, 2017 I use the Senyo Laser dubbing a bit differently. After attending a fly tying class sponsored by my salt water club, I found it makes excellent small bait fish patterns, under 3 inches in length. Never even thought about using it for nymphs or pupae. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is the Predator pattern referred to: http://www.flytyingforum.com/pattern472.html ...which uses Lime Green STANDARD SLF Dubbing: http://pacificflyfishers.com/products/slf-standard-dubbing It is nothing like Ice Dub: http://www.jsflyfishing.com/hareline-ice-dub ...or SLF Prism: https://www.feather-craft.com/wecs.php?store=feacraft&action=display&target=TM004 It is a lot closer to Sanyo's Laser Dub: http://www.swing-fly.com/new-products-1/senyos-laser-dub PT/TB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kudu 0 Report post Posted February 8, 2017 Laser dub great stuff. I use it on a lot of baitfish heads. It would work fine for predator I think. Cheechs low fat minnow uses it. Wedding veil uses it. Watch those videos and you can see it used. It has fairly long stiff fibers. I have noticed some differences in the product with various colors especially the silver minnow belly. Buy some you'll use it. Btw the low fat minnow rocks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's softer and finer than laser dub. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kudu 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2017 Cheech Is the new version better? Btw, my buddy's son, 9, caught a 5lb bass on the LFM that I had tied for his dad. The funny thing is the kid was fishing it with a Zebco and pulling it behind a bobber. Children's ingenuity too bad we lose it all too often. Thanks for sharing all your great patterns.
