Darren, enjoyed this. I'm an ole crappie jig tyer (not a fly rodder), who haunts the fly tiers sites for all my better jig ties. Just starting to try some hackle & dubbing instead of hackle & chenille. Also making glass & mono eyes & lead wire on a 90 degree jig hook w/o a lead head. Thanks to you & others, you've made tying fun again, & not just something I have to do to fish. You've put some pleasure back into my off water & on water time Thank You.
Even though this is an old vid you can tell on everyone of these YT vids of people making their own fibers from yarn,macrame cord,etc. who have never watched their mother or grandmother ever knit or crochet anything at any point in their lives. If they did they wouldn't fight with the skein of yarn rolling around everywhere and just pull the end out from the center of the skein....that is once you know how to find that end...LOL Your tool to pull out the dubbing can be found right beside the yarns....they're called crochet needles or hooks and can be found in different sizes...and are cheap.There are also latch hook crochet needles,and you can pull the latching mech off of it to just have the hook. A woodworking bit called a brad point drill bit would be the choice to drill in the plastic.You can start with what ever size you want the hole to end up as.They're cheap at harbor freight...
Good idea. I took a bunch of the round bead holders from Wal-Mart, drilled holes in the sides, and made a small base out of a dowel and plaque. Cost me $15 total. I like the tackle box idea. I have a ton laying around and will defiantly give this a try asap.
Joshua Pilon that sounds like a good system as well. I guess you can stack and spin the ones you made, so really great for having on a desk al the time. Thanks for the idea on your dubbing system. Cheers
Thanks Darren, I use the Hareline dubbing mixer but it is the same idea. If I am doing larger amounts, I use a coffee grinder. I don't use dubbing dispensers because my area for tying is very limited. I use zip loc bags on binder rings and have a series of hooks that I hang them on. works for me. All the best, Sean
If you run the drill bits in reverse (counterclockwise) when drilling thin plastics, it will prevent a lot of the cracking...also supporting the plastic with a wooden insert, in this case, would really help.
Like your presentation on this video, in particular your paperclip tool. Have you tried using a coffee bean grinder to mix dubbings? I picked one up at a thrift store for a couple of dollars and find it does a good job quite quickly. Keep up those DIY videos.
Hi Don, nice to hear from you. a coffee Grinder is great, but I find for this, the fibers are a bit longer and the groomer works better in this case. Thanks for dropping in! Cheers
James, I like these brushes for dubbing with longer fibers say 1/2 inch or longer and the coffee grinder for shorter dubbing. I hope that helps. Cheers
It looks like that seller is on Etsy now. Here is a link to one of the listings. www.etsy.com/ca/listing/213489921/angelina-fiber-blaze-crystalina-1-ounces?ga_search_query=angelina&ref=shop_items_search_1
Hi there!. The dubbing shown at the end of the video (14m20s) are also made by you with this technique? it is labeled DD#xxx....the box on the left. Thanks!
okydok, no, I didn't mix the ones at the end. They are a dubbing called Diamond Dubbing (Superfly), it's very similar to Hareline Ice Dubbing. For the dubbing I use the most, I create a case like this for it and get a few extra colors to fill it out. Cheers
The shiny fibers I use in the mixes is called Angelina. It's very similar to Ice dubbing and I think that Diamond Dubbing may have used it as a base (dyed over and carded) I bought a range of 14 colors for my own use, I think I cost me about $100, but I get some decent sized quantities. I have enough to make a few kilos of dubbing now. Here is a link to the fibers I mix in. amzn.to/2MpHE9i, In particular, the Crystal Violet is the most useful and can be used as pearl UV Angelwing or cut shorter for ice dub. Cheers
Thank you Rob Y. Just have a watch of the video. In my opinion, the combs make some of the best dubbing blends. Keep an eye out at the dollar store for good colors of acrylic or wool and add a little bit of the ice dubbing to get a little sparkle in there. I really appreciate you stopping by the channel. Cheers
Good stuff man, I’m looking back at this video to make some. Did you pick yours up at Hobby lobby, acmoore, Joanne fabrics? I made some amazingly soft and buggy and fluffy dubbing by buying the $3.99 bag from cabelas of assorted rabbits hides and I’ll shave off each color into a grinder and blend away and I’ll mix it up a lot. I love it
Thanks for dropping in. I get my yarn at Michael's here in Canada, but any craft store is good. The Angelina fibers I got online from an eBay seller (ebay.to/2G08kt1) and the combs and box from a dollar store. Sounds like some nice rabbit blends. Can't beat the customization of blending your own. Cheers
Piscator Flies I’ve watched you for a while and never knew you were in Canada, I’m here in Buffalo NY, so not far from Ontario, where in Canada you from?
Thanks again. Lol! I imagine you carding like a mad man while RHCP blasts away! Nice 🍰 cake, beautiful earthy colors. So you use wool too, and seal. Ever use wool NOT spun into yarn, just the the prepared and dyed fibers? Does the seal come bagged ready to dub or pelt form? Although a no no here, I've heard it's a sustainable harvest in Canada and the meat is consumed.(btw you ever have any? Or "baked apple berries", they're similar to the cloud berries found in northern Norway, northern Canada and Alaska? Just culinary curiosity, you taught me Chimo, want to learn more Canadian :-) You have some great custom dubbing Darren. That company that makes angelina has other fibers for crafting. Thanks for the link.(rhcp posted time links on songs of that concert, very cool) Cool dubbing pick too, love paper clips. Pfeiffer uses a modified one for a tube fly adapter. Chicone bends one into a crank for a dubbing loop twister. I use them to to store my swivels and snaps. A long time ago I called Spirit River for a catalog, if I talked to Bill Black I couldn't tell you. But in the very cool catalog Black's partner was given credit for the first dubbing dispenser doing what you just did. Your first diy dub tutorial made me sub. Bought a $tore grooming brush. Then another because you use 2 as apposed to doing it on a board. (I think I mentioned the crafting channels that gave other fabric/fiber techniques). I have some cool yarns I picked up, one is a silver/gray nylon I want to use for a Horner's Silver Shrimp body instead of the silver oval tinsel over floss underbody called for in the recipe. That's a cool looking pattern that looks like fry or other foods, open to many color and material varients. Well sorry for going off track, you didn't ask for tips, but I like to share. Cheers 👍😁
Chimo Joe. Yes, I carded like mad. I've really enjoyed watching concerts here on YT. I'm not much for going out to a live concert anymore, but it's nice to see some of my favorites up on stage. I don't think I've had seal meat before, but I have had things like bear, caribou, muskox, and rattlesnake. Bison is a favorite. The seal I have is a combination from Superfly and Canadian Tube Fly Co. I know you guys have a ban on the import, but like you say, it's a sustainable harvest. I get it in ready to dub. It's similar to pigs wool in texture but has a nice translucence like polar bear underfur. Anyhow, I had fun putting this box together. I've been planning to do it for a few months but didn't have much time to do it. The carding took a little longer than expected as I kept getting distracted by the shiny things on the internet. Cheers
Piscator Flies I'm with you on going to a concert. Our NYS Fair has free ones every day during it's run. Stevie Ray Vaughn played there a couple of times. Too bad he died. Seen him at the height of his abuse and after he cleaned up or "came home from the party" as he put it. Night and day difference. I go to the free ones. Ted Nugent, Stray Cats, Earth Wind and Fire, all free. Sting and Areosmith I may have paid for because they played at the race track's grandstand. That's all done now. No more races no grandstand. I had 🐻 bear when I was younger. My uncle bagged one. Mom made stew. I liked it. Coarse grained but tasty. Had some exotics at the fair like gator, ostrich, maybe snake. All tastes like the batter coating they deep fried it in. Bison is available in the store. Heard it's strong tasting but never had it. Venison is good. The better you take care of it after harvest the better it tastes. Nothing better than the tender loins shortly after harvest. My dad made calves head roasted in the oven. I was in 2nd grade maybe, mom was in the hospital I think after delivering my baby brother. I ate the brains, the meat around the jaws. It must have been good because it's a good memory. I wanted to take the teeth to show and tell at school but dad said not a good idea, lol. We had a fish market on our block. Every Friday I was sent to get fish for dinner, I was just a kid. Sometimes my father let me get frog legs. Those were great. I got to go frogging or gigging I think they call it too. We have lots of frogs here on the property. I knew about the seal from watching a travel show on PBS. I forgot what the guy ate, cured or dried sausage, but he liked it and the shop owner told him it was seal. I know what polar bear LOOKS like, I have some. Pigs wool I've never seen in hand. Yes that's an awesome color palette of dubbing you made. Cheers Piscator!

I just knew you was going to try to unravel all that yarn by running your drill backwards! lol nice dubbing box! Subbed
hehe, I love this box, I need to get some fresh colors though and do another. Thanks for the watch and the sub. Cheers

Hi Sean. I've seen the Hareline mixer, it looks like a good tool. The Binder clips work well too. Thanks for watching and all the best. Cheers

Miles, great tips, thanks!
Clever. I have a few of those types of tackle boxes stacked in the garage that I now can get a use out of.
Thanks Tim. It's a good way to put them to use. Cheers
Veryj nice.
Beautiful 🎉🎉 👏👏👏👏👏
Nice dubbing
Thank you so much 😀
Классно придумано.👍👍👍 любой даббинг изготовлен своими руками- дешевле чем покупать брендовые вещи.
Да, и вы получаете больше, чем доступно в любом магазине. Спасибо!

Great video, very usefull! What type of caron tea cakes yarn is this, is it maple matcha ?
Thanks!
Edin Čusto, thank you. Yes, you're correct, it was the Maple Matcha cake I used for the video. Cheers
