I just got finished tying with the new stonefly wings I ordered awhile back and my golden stones look like the real. Thanks for making a great product, this is one of the flies I will be tying at the Salt Lake Expo. Ken Held

UV Hare Dubbing Plus

“Three quite different dubbings here – two blend, one pure synthetic – and all three seem like well prepared dubbings. UV Hare Dubbing Plus blends hare with “fine sparking Antron and UV ice dubbing”. Actually, the pack says, “hare’s ear guard hairs” but this has a high proportion of under-fur in the mix and is certainly…

Maruto Carp Fly Hooks – Barbed, Reversed, Black Nickel – 8832-SSC+CP

Frosty Dubbing

“Frosty Dubbing all one type of fibre; curious stuff. Frosty looks translucent until you turn it and it seems to gleam.

Beaver Dubbing Plus

“Beaver Dubbing Plus blends beaver with a “touch of superfine sparkling Antron”. Again, the main constituent in the mix is a natural under-fur.

Dubbing – Hare Plus UV

“Great Dubbing. With some mixes I find the ratio of guard hairs to underfur very inconsistent. With the Hares Ear Plus ever mix I have used has been very consistent and ties some very buggy and good looking flies. The UV is subtle but adds a nice attractant quality to flies tied with it.”
