Hate reverse tying in craft fur or want to knock out a dozen streamers in 30 minutes. Well you can’t do that, especially when you might have OCD tendencies but it sounds nice. Dubbing Brushes take time, especially when you want them to look right. It may take you 10-20 minutes to make a brush that you may get 2-5 streamers out of, but those 2-5 streamers are wicked strong due to the stainless steel core and you can crank them off the vise quicker. Do Dubbing Brushes save time per fly? I argue that it takes the same time (including time to make the brush and tie the fly) but is way way faster vise time. I only make brushes for patterns I know work and I load my box with them. This is a craft fur brush that that forms the base and color primarily of craft fur. I don’t do my craft fur brushes dense since I usually use it for not creating body bulk but rather accents and compliments to my natural feather bulk. Flash is almost always in and brush I make and lately I have been using ripple ice due to is unique properties and rigidness. Mix and max, find the right colors, and a nice table helps.
