So I came across this video online and was amazed so I had to try it. It’s a simple technique for making dubbing and material for fly/jig tying that is very inexpensive. You take yarn and brush it with pet brush. Easy peasy. Plus it looks like troll hair!

I plan on tying some jigs with it soon and will report and show pics of results.

Do that a lot with wool batting . Like the jigs but the center one is the best, Keep the ends uneven!
Yeah they were to long so I trimmed them. I can do better now I know. Thanks
Look'n Good. :ThumbsUpQuote:

I think those were 1/16 with #4 hook. I’d have to go look to be sure. If I get time I will put one in fish tank tonight. I think they should work. I have since seen videos of others doing this same thing for dubbing. They mostly use wool but some acrylic which is what I used.
The thing about dubbing is almost anything can become dubbing, even the fluff on the base of a feather. That is one reason I wanted to learn the Rope dub method of tying, I just need to do a lot more of it, but then I don't need any chenille, lol!

Wow...that's a great video. I'll be giving that a shot. Thanks for the vid!
Great tip to share. I have a lot of yarn so I’ll be good as long as I’m able to fish.
I really need to start using my dubbing that I have had for a long time now. Just have to force myself to pull some out to use. I have so many of the boxes if it and then I have a lot or refills in another drawer, lol! Gonna take me a while I guess!
