What it is The Hareline Stonfo Creative Dubbing Kit is a compact, user-friendly dubbing brush making kit built as a precision tool for creating your own dubbing brushes. At the vise it’s used to build dubbed bodies from individual fibers captured in a loop, and it lets you control brush diameter and length so the result matches the fly you’re tying. In the water that translates to a consistent, even body with whatever blend of fibers you’ve chosen. What to tie with it Use it to make custom dubbing brushes for bodies, collars, and thoraxes, especially when you want a uniform noodle of fibers you can wrap quickly. It’s also a clean way to blend different materials together for multicolored lures, since you’re loading the loop with exactly what you want before you spin and brush it out. Common bench moves with it are dubbing-in-a-loop, spinning the loop to lock fibers, then wrapping and brushing/teasing to shape the profile. Flies and the fish they're for This tool shows up anywhere dubbed bodies need to be fast and consistent, from Woolly Buggers for trout and smallmouth in rivers and stillwaters to saltwater worm-style patterns for redfish and other flats species. It’s also used for delicate CDC dry flies for trout on tailwaters and spring creeks, where a sparse, controlled dubbed body matters. You can even use it while building dry-fly components alongside patterns like the Comparadun, a trout mayfly dry for riffles and runs, where clean proportions and tidy materials make the fly ride right.
