While watching fly tying videos I have noticed that there seem to be three primary ways to dub...
first is to simply wax or wet the thread and then twist the dubbing on..
second is to create a dubbing loop.. wet or wax it.. apply the dubbing.. twist into a rope and apply to the fly...
the last one.. and the one I find most intrigueing is what I see Richard Strolis (midcurrent.com) do when he wants to dub a fly... he seperates the thread.. applies a little wax.. then dubbing ... twist into a rope and apply to the fly...
is there a preferred way to apply dubbing??
is one method better than the other.. ??
which do you prefer to use??
is there a preferred thread to use dependant on the method of dubbing used???
