I watch these just for the comedic roasting of Max. Kidding. These videos are indispensable and greatly appreciated. I guess I have to quit my day job to dub better :). Thanks.
Great video Charlie! I tied similar flies today that I tied before watching your tips. The “after watching” flies are far superior to the “before watching” flies. Thanks!!
THANK YOU CHARLIE. I APPRECIATE YOUR WILLINGNESS TO SHARE YOUR INSIGHTS WITH THE WORLD. (max your filming and editing have noticeably improved. Blink twice if he actually made you fish those flies)
Wow! Thank you so much for the incredible video on dubbing! Very helpful and useful techniques. Very appreciative of the "dubbing loop" lesson! Don't know who Max is, but he must have "broad shoulders" and a great sense of humor! Thank you!
One thing to note, natures spirit "squirrel" dubbing is actually made with rabbit. Two totally different things, and i don't get why they didn't just sell it as tabby instead of lying to everyone
Probably the best video I've ever seen on just dubbing. You didn't see if it would float like Kelly G. but I'm not so sure that's really important. Keep the good stuff coming.
GREAT INFORMATION AND PRACTICAL - WATCHING HOW YOU FEED MATERIAL INTO THE TWIST IS ESPECIALLY HELPFUL TO ME. DIDN’T SEE IF THIS WAS A $5 or $6 video AND I THINK IM NEARING MY CREDIT LIMIT. 🏦
Thanks for the great ideas to think about and techniques to practice. I use dubbing loops a lot when I want fibers to stay at roughly 90 degrees to the thread so I can then plammer the "hackle" onto the hook. Soft fibers of marabou do not resist being twisted in the loop, but stiff fibers taken from a turkey wing strongly resist the twisting of the loop. Please give some thought to doing a video that might make stiff fibers more cooperative in a dubbing loop.
Does the direction in which you dub onto the thread matter (dependent on left or right handed tying)? Does one direction cause it to hold better while the other cause it to loosen as you wrap? Thanks!
I am a Mason / Tile setter. I have from time to time sanded my hands with fine sand paper. But not often, most of the time I say the helll with it and jump in to it.
Kelly Galloup gives his camera man shit too! Hang in there Johnny and Max. Great video Charlie! I'm also loving my new Christmas book my Grandson bought for me. Your book on tying nymphs!
Awesome Charlie. The explanations and techniques are very clear. I eagerly await that DRY FLY book, CC! BTW, do you ever use thread splitting on smaller flies when dubbing? Good cheer from the East Kootenays just north of Montana...
Thanks Charlie, and Max! Question, is it best to rub thumb towards the tip of forefinger as opposed to down? I am a right handed tier and dub with the right (vise side) hand. Any effect on how the thread cords or uncords when wrapping, or how the dubbing grips?
@@axelschug3451 I roll my thumb toward the top of my index finger. No effect from direction, you’re not twisting enough thread to make it matter and if you’re doing it right, you’re twisting the dubbing ONTO the thread, not twisting the thread at all.
Great video! What about the different textures of natural furs like rabbit vice squirrel vice possum or goat or pigs wool. Not to detract from this presentation but suggestion for future.
Is there a type of dubbing, long / short / coarse / fine / natural / synthetic that lends itself to dry flies more than nymphs, aka floats better… or is that the work of the floatant? Thanks for the videos - very informative and helpful.
@@aaronabeyta3530 primarily that is a flotant issue, but some dubbings are pretty porous and soak up water easily. Ice Dub is a great example of a non-buoyant dubbing. Superfine and other poly dubbing, beaver, natural furs etc seem to hold their shape and because they can be dubbed tightly, are less porous.
THANK YOU FOR AN EXCELLENT INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO. I TIE STEELHEAD FLIES AND USE ARCTIC FOX TAILS FOR DUBBING. I AM RARELY SATISFIED WITH THE RESULTS OF MY EFFORTS ON THE DUBBING - IT ENDS UP BEING VERY UNEVEN. SUGGESTIONS?
@@jserra17 why are you dubbing with AF tail? You’re probably getting too much on at a time. That’s a very long, variable texture and length material. Try rabbit?
Nicely done Sensei. If extended to 35 minutes I am sure you would delve into natural looking color transitions (as oppose abrupt changes in colors) or gone into "touch" dubbing. Thanks.

F*cking Legend ✊🏻🇺🇸
The best explanation and demonstration of dubbing I have seen.

Great video Charlie! I tied similar flies today that I tied before watching your tips. The “after watching” flies are far superior to the “before watching” flies. Thanks!!
I very much appreciate your tying videos, especially your videos on materials and techniques, so thank you
I have been at this a while and this was extremely helpful, thanks Charlie!
THANK YOU CHARLIE. I APPRECIATE YOUR WILLINGNESS TO SHARE YOUR INSIGHTS WITH THE WORLD. (max your filming and editing have noticeably improved. Blink twice if he actually made you fish those flies)
I've always had trouble with dubbing. This is the best video on dubbing I've seen.
Thanks for the series!! Been learning a ton over the last year or so! It's a bit overwhelming, but slowly getting there!! haha
I had no idea that's how its done, saw many video people using dubbing but never had it explained like this, THANKS ! ! ! ! !

I tied up a dozen of those, can't wait to fish them. ; ) Great content and instruction.
Just getting back into tying. This video has been perfect for what I'm doing. Thank you so much!
Very helpful! Thanks, Charlie!

Took me 4 years to learn the techniques that Charlie explained in 15 minutes. See you in Coralville

A great help understanding this what can be a difficult part of þhe craft. Thank you Charlie😊
Charlie, great information and very well presented, thanks
Thanks, been tying for years and my dubbing still sucks! Now there’s hope!
Great video thanks for sharing.
Thank you. I have learned so much. Much appreciated. Cheers!
Great video I watch them all
THANKS CHARLIE, Always learn so much from you ….and Max

great tutorial
Another great video lesson!
But you missed genuine seals fur dubbing.
That nightmare 😂
8,400 flies out of one package of Superfine. That's impressive.

Matt O'Neils at Savage flies needs to watch this ,dude has good intentions but ...yeah his dubbing is HIT
Awesome Charlie. The explanations and techniques are very clear. I eagerly await that DRY FLY book, CC! BTW, do you ever use thread splitting on smaller flies when dubbing? Good cheer from the East Kootenays just north of Montana...
Good advice, thanks. Do you ever use wax on your thread? I find I have to use for materials like real seal fur, antrons etc
Helped

Great tutorial. I sense Max is plotting a response as we watch this…..

👍
mind explode!
Thanks Charlie, hopefully this will fix mine problems (than again maybe NOT)
Just quit my day job for this,.....lol jk, how them dogs gonna eat?! Lol
