Borisfly Rabbit Dubbing Plus

Description

Rabbit Dubbing is a premium fly tying material made from natural rabbit fur, widely appreciated by fly tyers for its versatility, realism, and outstanding performance on the water. Thanks to its exceptionally soft and fine fibers, rabbit dubbing produces flies with a subtle translucency and lifelike profile that closely imitates natural aquatic insects. When submerged, the fibers come alive, creating a gentle, flowing movement that is highly attractive to fish, even in slow or cold water conditions.

One of the key advantages of rabbit dubbing is its excellent water absorption. Unlike synthetic materials, rabbit fur absorbs and retains water, helping flies sink naturally into the feeding zone. This makes it especially effective for tying nymphs, wet flies, emergers, and soft-hackle patterns where a realistic drift and natural motion are essential. The absorbed water also enhances the fly’s silhouette, giving it a fuller, more convincing appearance underwater.

Rabbit dubbing is easy to work with, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced fly tyers. It blends smoothly onto the tying thread and can be applied using traditional dubbing techniques or spun loosely for a rougher, buggy look. By adjusting the amount and tension, tyers can create anything from slim, delicate bodies to thicker, more textured profiles. It also blends well with other natural or synthetic materials, allowing for endless customization and creative pattern design.Available in a wide range of natural and dyed colors, rabbit dubbing can be matched to local insect species or adapted to changing water and light conditions. Whether you are targeting trout, grayling, or other freshwater species, rabbit dubbing helps produce durable, natural-looking flies that consistently perform. For fly tyers who value realism, movement, and effectiveness, rabbit dubbing is an essential material in any fly tying kit. Borisfly.com
