Wapsi Natural Fur Dubbing

Wapsi Natural Fur Dubbing is a collection of natural fur dubbings, including materials that can be difficult to source elsewhere. The different fur textures give the tier options for building either a relatively controlled body or a more open, lively surface. It is a useful choice when the pattern calls for the character of natural fur rather than a uniform synthetic blend.

Construction and use

Use these natural dubbings for nymphs, wet flies, dry flies and other patterns where texture is part of the design. The fibres can be spun directly on the thread, captured in a dubbing loop or brushed gently after winding. Because fur types vary in how much bulk they create, begin with a small pinch and add more only after checking the shape of the body.

• Material character: natural fur dubbings with varied fibre structure.
• What sets it apart: a selection of natural furs that are often hard to find.
• Applications: nymphs, wet flies, dry flies and textured natural-fibre patterns.
• Practical tip: separate the fibres before use and apply sparingly; brush the finished body only when a more open profile is wanted.
