Hareline Ice Dub
ICE23Ice Dub is a synthetic fly-tying material that mimics the natural shine and sparkle found in the scales of baitfish. It's essentially a dubbing material with the reflective properties of fine mylar tinsel, which results in an ultra-bright and highly reflective dubbing material that can be used for creating various patterns. It's one of the most popular dubbings for both freshwater and saltwater, provides great sparkle, and dubs beautifully.
Ice Dub is incredibly versatile and can be used to create various types of flies, from nymphs to streamers. The synthetic fiber is also highly durable and will maintain its shine and reflection even if you've been fly fishing all day. The material is relatively easy to use and forms noodles just like regular dubbing without any special tools. With this product, you can create realistic baitfish imitations to bring in more fish. Hareline ice dubbing material comes in standard and ultraviolet-reflective colors, which sparkle deep blue when viewed in sunlight. You can get the individual color packs, or purchase the Hareline Ice Dub Dispenser, which comes with 12 colors, including the popular UV pearl, peacock black, UV tan, pearl, and olive brown.
What are the advantages of using Hareline Ice Dub?
One of the main advantages of using this fly tying dubbing is that it's highly customizable. You can mix different shades of dubbing material to create unique color combinations and patterns that will suit the species of fish you're trying to target. You can blend the dubbing with other materials like feathers, fur, or Krystal Flash to add texture and movement to the fly.
You can also combine it with other synthetic fibers and dubbing, such as Senyo's Fusion Dub, to create a unique fly pattern. Ice Dub can be used to create a variety of body shapes, from slim and streamlined to bulky and well-rounded. This Hareline product is an excellent material for fly tying and offers many possibilities for creativity and experimentation.
