what exectly is a dubbing rope? IS it where you twist the dubbing on the thread to wrap it around the hook to form a body?

Posted

You make a dubbing rope by twisting an amount of dubbing in a rope shape before you tye it on the body a fly. You can make a rope by twisting it on a thread with your fingers, using a dubbing loop, or rolling it between your fingers or hand. It can be tapered, or a consistent length, or cigar shaped. You can even use fine wire to make a dubbing rope for a tough, durable body.
