Hends Ice Dubbing Threads Claret

Using Hends Ice Dubbing Threads Claret is highly effective for imitating buggy profiles and generating bright trigger points. Its primary benefits are its brilliant, iridescent sheen and its ability to act as a synthetic substitute for peacock herl or natural fur, giving your nymphs and streamers exceptional lifelike movement.

Key Features & Benefits

• Iridescent Shimmer: The Claret base catches and reflects light brilliantly, standing out to predatory fish without being overwhelmingly bright.
• Translucency: When wet, the synthetic fibers become translucent, allowing underlying materials or thread colours to subtly show through.
• Excellent Trigger Points: Claret Ice Dubbing mimics the colour of baitfish bellies, shrimp, egg sacs, and emerging insect wings.
• Easy to Tease Out: The flashabou-like texture is slightly spiky, making it easy to brush out for a buggy halo effect or baitfish taper.
• Streamer & Baitfish Bodies: It creates flashy, tapering bodies for baitfish patterns and minnow heads.
• Nymph & Emerger Thoraxes: Excellent for forming shiny, pulsing thoraxes that mimic active aquatic life.
• Peacock Herl Replacements: When wound in a dubbing loop, white Ice Dubbing can mimic the glistening, fibrous thorax of a Prince Nymph.

Pro Tying Tips for Ice Dub

• Use Dubbing Loops: Because synthetic flash can sometimes be slippery, many tiers find it much easier to create a Dubbing Loop using your tying thread and a twister tool to lock the fibers tightly in place.
• Pinch & Tease: When dubbing directly to your thread, apply tiny pinches and twist in a single direction to form a thin “noodle”. After wrapping, tease out the fibers with a Dubbing Brush to achieve a shaggy, lively presentation.
• Control the Quantity: Ice Dub stretches a long way. Always use less than you think you need to prevent bulky, uneven bodies.
