Hareline Krystal Dub

Hareline Krystal Dub combines soft rabbit fur with fine Flashabou-type fibres. The natural part of the blend makes it easy to twist onto thread and gives a body an irregular, insect-like texture, while the scattered synthetic strands introduce points of reflected light. The flash therefore remains dispersed within soft fur instead of forming a continuous metallic layer.

Construction and use

Apply a small amount directly to thread for abdomens and thoraxes, or place a larger portion in a dubbing loop and brush it out. Krystal Dub is more reflective than Hare-Tron while keeping a more natural profile than fully synthetic Ice Dub. It works as a complete blend or as a coloured accent combined with other dubbings.

• Blend: rabbit fur mixed with fine Flashabou fibres.
• Effect: a soft, buggy body with clearly visible points of light.
• Uses: nymphs, wet flies, streamers and salmon patterns.
• Technique: direct dubbing or a loop followed by brushing.
