Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted January 16, 2006 Root Admin Posted January 16, 2006 Dubbing... did I spell it wrong? Dubbing- you use on scuds... fur... you know... You got me paranoid on this one Brian.
Members Gina Posted January 19, 2006 Members Posted January 19, 2006 Nothing is sacred, when it comes to tossing stuff into the ol coffee bean grinder. . .
Okieflyfisher53 Posted January 19, 2006 Posted January 19, 2006 I got a bunch of "Aunt Lydia's Sparkle Yarn" on ebay. I have chopped it in small pieces and blended it in a coffee grinder to make some pretty good dubbing. I also have 4 shetland sheep dogs who provide lot's of dubbing. When I brush them I get enough under coat to fill a zip-lock baggie. Steve
Brian K. Shaffer Posted January 20, 2006 Author Posted January 20, 2006 Hey Steve - Fill up 3 or 4 of those zip lock bags with Shetland dubbing and sell that on eBay to pay for your Aunt Lydia's Sparkle Yarn! Sweet! ha ha ha - Brian Just once I wish a trout would wink at me! ozarkflyfisher@gmail.com I'm the guy wearing the same Simms longbilled hat for 10 years now.
Members Rio Grande King Posted January 24, 2006 Members Posted January 24, 2006 A suggestion- Use a blender with water in it instead of a coffee grinder. That way the fibers stay nice and long! My wife purchased a 25cent garage sale avacodo-colored special just for blending dubbing when she caught me mixing dubbing in the kitchen machine. You can add lots of nifty things like clear antron, pearl and colored ice dub, and tiny amounts of spectrumizing things like yellow and orange seal (or substitute) to trick out your blends.
Brian K. Shaffer Posted February 23, 2006 Author Posted February 23, 2006 Eric from Wapsi.. he makes us the dubbing. This was a trick question. Just once I wish a trout would wink at me! ozarkflyfisher@gmail.com I'm the guy wearing the same Simms longbilled hat for 10 years now.
Danoinark Posted February 23, 2006 Posted February 23, 2006 I've got some Maine Coon dubbing!!! Seriously!...Dano Glass Has Class "from the laid back lane in the Arkansas Ozarks"
Members Packman Posted February 23, 2006 Members Posted February 23, 2006 Sounds like Everyone makes dubbing and we all know what it is.......so now lets see some pictures of it in action!!!
Members Davy Wotton Posted October 27, 2006 Members Posted October 27, 2006 The process we use to make dubbings as such are way more complex than most persons realise. I at one time developed and manufactured all the SLF series along with others before l sold my company to Wapsi fly. It would take a book to write all l know about this subject matter. But in essence it is material that is as a rule by some means twisted around or within thread and then wound on the hook. But you can dub fly bodies by many other means. You can dub material around wire or anything else that will maintain the tension and twist with out breaking. Davy Wotton
