Thanks! I know this is an older video but I am starting to get further into tying and I have been stressed out about this. I had a feeling I was using too much because you demonstrated what happens to me when I try to add dub. I am just working on simple nymph patterns and wooly buggers.
Very good video. Not squeezing the dubbing/ thread hard enough and using too much dubbing are my problems, so your video will definitely help with those. The one thing I noticed is that the thickness of your dubbing on the thread is between 1x and 2x the thickness of the hook shank, which is remarkably thin. If this is a rough guide then presumably this can be used for much smaller hooks.
Is it possible to combine ice dub and another super fine dub for easier application, or using white ice dub with a vaiety of colors to give you alot of different ice dub colors?
Try 'rope dubbing' as a replacement technique for any fly with any dubbing. No wax, no tools. Ice dub is a piece of cake, no matter how much you'd like in the pattern, from a #32 to a 14/0- one pass, taper, segments, bullet-proof and 1/10th of the time.
WHAT CAN I USE ANTRON YARN FOR? I know a wax worm but can you please tell me some other uses. I have not been tying very long and i bought a bunch of it. Thanks And I just Subbed
Why not use a PRITT STICK (sparingly) instead of dubbing wax!!! It's all natural materials, very tacky, none toxic, colourless, doesn't alter buoyancy of fly and dirt cheap!!! Just smear a little on the base of your forefinger, no need for an irritating lump that keeps falling off and lost!
Thank you! The struggle was real but now I feel very confident!
Excellent! I have struggled with dubbing for years . Pinching hard with moistened finger tips is transformative.
Thanks! That really helped. Now I can dubb properly!
Simple, informative and to the point. Great video. Was struggling with this today and knew I had to be doing something wrong. Thanks!
Same here , great advice thanks.!
Wow thanks for this vid. I'm having trouble in keeping the dubbing wrapped around the thread. This will help me a lot. Thanks from the Philippines!

Perfect. Exactly what i was lookimg for
thnx this helped alot !

Question When you apply the dubbing are you holding the tag end of the thread to keep it taut?
Thank you first time doing dubbing and I made my best fly I’ve ever made😂😂😂
Great video. Thanks. What about waxed thread? Needed or not?
Nice instructions

Dubbing is the worst part of fly tying.
