Dubbing anyone use it tying jigs

[Doc Crappie]

I was just curious if anyone used dubbing when tying there jigs or is that still something mostly used by trout fly tyers.

hey doc thought about using it on the lighter heads...1/80-1/64-1/100

[Doc Crappie]

That is what I was thinking as well but not sure if I wanna invest to much into but think it would work well for the micro's myself.... something I have been pondering about here for a little bit

skip will know lol....he's used it if you can

[Doc Crappie]

I dont think he uses it on his jigs will have to check his site out and take a look

I use it on some of my patterns. I caught most of my crappie last summer on a angora goat dubbing in chartreuse green dubbed body matching marabou tail and hot pink head jig. I have a few gill patterns I tie that I use it on as well. It works and I seem to be using it more and more the more I lean to tying flies rather than jigs. I rarely use chenille anymore.

I have been experimenting with flies as well you will get some during the jig swap on the other site, infact they will be top water lures if my hooks ever show up so i can get them done.

Jubs where you pick you dubbing up at if i can ask....

This is not my tie, actually this is one of Jubs (hope you don't mind me showing it) from a recent swap. I was pretty amazed with this one and can't wait to tie it on my line. This thing is BUGGY!!!

Said on the toe tag was tied with hare's ear plus dubbing....


Doc - Other site? PM me if you would, always like to check out other patterns......

You can use for any type of jig pattern you want. I have a Vermont Fishing Magazine from the 80's where they tied trout jig patterns on small jig hooks for spin fisherman.

If you use it I'd have a layer of thread down so it doesn't slip on the painted jig collar or hook shank for plain collar.

enjoy and give it a try
