Dubbing brushes are very effective ways of creating dynamic bodies on large streamers. Up until OPST made the "composite dubbing loop" popular, there was really no way of making a multi layered hackle from many types of materials other than with a dubbing brush. At least thats where I think the Composit Loop came from. Tell me if im wrong! So back to the dubbing brush. You can put just about any material in the brush to make different effects. Use a more stiff fiber like EP fiber, or something that flows more like the craft fur I am using in this brush. You can even make dubbing brushes with only dubbing. Use Ice Dub for a flashy hackle, or laser dub for a more dull hackle. Anything you use basically creates a hackle, that you can then wrap onto your hook and create some almost impossible to create otherwise bodies. I even know of some people that use a very fine wire and use short fiber to create dry fly hackle this way. Or very buggy looks with hackle on nymphs. Thats the beauty of making your own dubbing brush, you can make it exactly how you want, and therefor have unique flies that no one else has made before.
With that being said here is a list of the materials I used to make this brush.

That's a very cool tool. I guess like a lot of other pursuits there's a lot of specialized knowledge involved with tying flies. Always something new to learn about. Thanks for the interesting video.

@McFlyAngler 5 лет назад

Glad you liked it, and yes, lots of different techniques for sure! Would take a lifetime to learn them all.

@docandry77 5 лет назад

thanks for sharing. I've got to admit, I've tried making dubbing brushes but I didn't realize my problem until I watched yours. I was putting too much material on the brush so I was getting brushes with really 'chunky' parts in the middle. After watching your video, I made a few brushes that worked perfectly. Less really is more :)

@McFlyAngler 5 лет назад

Glad to help! Yeah for sure with the less is more thing. In general I find that to be a good rule with tying any fly. Seems like I always like the looks of flies when I use less material than I think I need.

Thanks for sharing nice handy wee dubbing table hadn't seen that that one before comes out nice and simple !!

This one is that price? Dang!!! That’s more than the stonefo one here... Hahahaha

@myflyoutdooradventures8414 3 года назад

I bought my own from J Stockard because of this video. One of the best purchases I ever made. Can make fuller, prettier, more symmetrical flues and so much faster

@McFlyAngler 3 года назад

I agree, dubbing brush tables are really good to have. I recently got a new table that is much better than this one and plan on doing a review of it soon. It’s a little more expensive but I think it’s worth the price. It’s really so much easier to use and so much better brushes

@myflyoutdooradventures8414 3 года назад

Thanks, go check out some other brush tables, to be honest, this one isn’t the best, after just a few months it broke. I currently use the oasis benches dubbing brush table. It’s a good one!

@johnnylightning1491 5 лет назад

I have seen dubbing brush tables where the table drops when you spin the brush. It makes the material not wind so tight up against the wire. Not nearly as much combing. You might want to check it out.

@McFlyAngler 5 лет назад

Yes but they are almost always $100+

Greetings from up north, do you have a video of how to tie the fly? Looks great!

@McFlyAngler 5 лет назад

Coming out this coming Friday. Thanks! :)

@travisbyles5286 5 лет назад

Thanks for sharing! Curious, what line weight would you use for a fly like the one shown here?

@travisbyles5286 5 лет назад

Thanks for the reply! I was actually thinking of the main line, could a 5 wt rod and line cast this or would somthing heavier be required? Still did not know about tippet ither so all good info!

@McFlyAngler 5 лет назад

No, I would at least cast it on a 7-8wt, it’s big, heavy, and wind resistant... as for tippet, Jason is correct, 2-0x will probably be fine for large trout. Personally I’d stay closer to the 0x. But nothing wrong with buying some fluorocarbon bass fishing line in 20-30lb and making a perfection loop in it and making that your leader. Usually trout aren’t as line shy when chasing large streamers. If your fishing for other fish though like bass or pike, I’d use heavy line like 30lb+ or steel leader for pike.

@nathanmitchell9431 4 года назад

Where can I get a real good fly tying kit I had one when I fourteen but it got lost in a housefire a long time ago I wanna get back into it?

@McFlyAngler 4 года назад

I don’t like the “kits” because most of them have materials and tools you will want to replace quickly. Send me a private message on Instagram, and I’ll put together a list of individual items to buy that will end up lasting you a lifetime. Also I’ll need your budget and what type of fishing you normally do. Just the kits tend to be so junky most the time, and if they aren’t, they are super expensive for some tools and materials you might not ever use.

Hey McFly do you have a video on how you tied that streamer? Wrap the brush and then tie the green fur on top of shank?

Yes I do. It was released either right before or right after this video

That apparatus for dispensing wire from the spool, is it available for purchase?

@McFlyAngler Год назад

I made this video a long time ago so I’m forgetting what I used then, but currently I use a simple bobbin holder like I use for the thread. Here is a link to one online. Go cheap for the wire one since wire would damage a good one anyway. amzn.to/3jOkf6g

Yes, and I omitted them on the video....

@McFlyAngler 5 лет назад

Also I changed the dumbbell eyes to non weighted.

@markBUMP 5 лет назад

@@McFlyAngler yeah I like the changes. I tried it with dumbbell eyes and for me it didn't seem well. It seems great without them. And having that tall slender profile, that thing is going to jerk really well. I used you squishy head method on mine just a little bit tho to help with the water push so It won't catch a lot of drag while it's swimming.

The video is old, links don’t last forever since some places stop selling, etc. so let me look for it. However I have a better table I’d recommend. It does cost a bit more but is easier to use and makes bigger brushes. Oasis benches makes that one. www.oasisbenches.com/dubbing-brush-table/
