Hey, just to add on this wonderful video, there is a pet brush that you press a button and the teeth retract giving you full access to the dubbing EASILY! It’s only a couple bux more but totally worth the cost saving time and frustration. Homie in vid makes it look easy and all, but there are times it will get frustrating, this helps! (It helped me, hopefully you will see it’s benefit). Have fun tying your flies! Hey, gotta say, that black ice dubbing looks GREAT!!!
I like the way that you did this and I am wondering where you get the bags of Angelina diners from? They look great in making different colors of laser dubbing.
Thanks Darren, I have learned a lot from you this week. I didn't see this video until August, not sure why, I am subscribed. Anyway, I just watched you 10 tips and hacks video and saw this one after it was finished. I am going to save some money with this one. Thanks. Sean
+Sean Mooney Thanks Sean. I'm betting this was posted before you had subscribed. Thanks for watching, I might have to post an updated version of this down the road to include both the wool and acrylic as I've been using both now.
Gary, thanks for watching. I also use acrylic yarn and sometimes mix it with wool. You're right in that the wool soaks up the water. I did an update video to this one last year using a multicolored yarn cake. You can view here if you are interested ua-cam.com/video/LgwAHjfngIw/v-deo.html Cheers!

You're awesome, I appreciate your insights and techniques! I've spent a grip on laser dub--it's a great product but I'm at a point in my tying to where I have to start making my own or I'm going to break the bank. I figured that this style of dubbing could be made but I didn't know how begin or to which materials to use to get the correct blend and consistency. Onward to creating a killer blend. Thanks so much!!!
Chimo! I mentioned using wool in the video, but Acrylic yarn works just as well and I've been told it is actually what the Laser Dub is made from. Blend on!
I love this way of doing this to make my own laser dubbing but where do you get angelina fibers and what is it normally used for besides making dubbing with and how much is it to buy please let me know. Thank you very muck and please keep up the very good work.
Hi, nice video and I like your content. I've subscribed. I've seen a few of these diy long staple dubbing tutorials and bought a similar grooming brush. I have a TON of different yarns already, just need to work on the flash. Thanks. 👍
Where did you get the big bags of sparkle? I have been making dubbing out of hares mask, and coyote and some squirrel, but have had to buy the expensive sparkle material from the fly shop. A little help please.
Thank you harleyman. I was thinking I should put together a video of different ways to blend including the grinder. I love the grinder for short fibers like rabbit and squirrel dubbing. Cheers
Hi there! Can I buy acrylic yarn and make my own dubbing!? Found a multi-color pack for like 10 bucks and I get 12 different colors. I'm new to all this and looking to "practice" tying on the cheap and not waste or make mistakes with the expensive stuff from fly shops! Thanks and be well.
Hi Kerry, it should be pretty much the same. My only hesitation on the grinder is the length of the fibers. Shorter fibers do great in the grinder but longer ones can get wound on the blades. Same goes for the combs in that they aren't as good for the shorter fibers as they are for longer. Cheers
i have a coffee grinder i put the wood into and short starts it breaks the fabric up the neighbour's dog has a log coat on him I have used the dog hair with the dubbing i have made with his hair ugly rainy cold day i have awesome lucky with the dog hair
Hi Randy, I used wool in this video, but you can use any yarn. I use a lot of acrylic yarn now and have been moving away from wool. This is mainly for wet flies like steelhead streamers and nymphs. I don't tie much for dry flies so I haven't looked too deep into materials for dry dubbing. I would start with Antron perhaps for a dry base, but if you can find something finer that mimics the Fine & Dry dubbing, that is what I would go with. Cheers
+Bob Bohner Hi Bob, because it's a craft material it may not be mentioned, but there is a link to the eBay store I've used to purchase my supply. The Violetta pearl is very close to the Hareline UV Pearl ice dubbing. You'll need to cut it a little to get it to the right size. www.ebay.com/itm/Angelina-Crystal-Violetta-Fibers-One-Ounce-29-g-/192314992542?hash=item2cc6dde79e
+Luke Haubrick I've started using acrylic as well and mixing it with wool on occasion. Not sure how you are using the zip ties? Are you using David Collins method of dubbing and wing material?
Here is where I bought mine. It's on sale for 4.28/oz right now, it's about 30 bags worth of Ice dub. www.ebay.com/itm/Angelina-Crystal-Violetta-Fibers-One-Ounce-29-g-/192141661217?hash=item2cbc891421:m:m107m2KTxtdTd0kqkRQK_Dg
Embellishment Village sells it. Get the Jelly bean pack to try. Its plenty of material to play around with. www.embellishmentvillage.com/store.php?cat=21 More colors: www.embellishmentvillage.com/store.php?cat=63 The Crimped Hot Fix Angelina is exactly what hairline is calling ice ripple fiber but way cheaper.

That laser dub is dope
You have my subscription!!!
right back at ya! Cheers
Awesome , this will save me tons of money . Thanks
I do the same but use acrylic "wool" instead of the real thing as I feel the acrylic sheds water better on large streamers and pike flies.
Gary, thanks for watching. I also use acrylic yarn and sometimes mix it with wool. You're right in that the wool soaks up the water. I did an update video to this one last year using a multicolored yarn cake. You can view here if you are interested ua-cam.com/video/LgwAHjfngIw/v-deo.html Cheers!

Nicely done! I do the same thing and produce way more options for coloration then you can buy !
PRACERZ, thanks for the comment. I use this dubbing pretty much every day. I love the freedom it allows for variation. Cheers
Cool technique. I've been mixing furs with flash, cdc... never yarn... thanks
Oholi, thank you! It's a lot of fun to mix your own, so many combinations available. Cheers
Piscator Flies just curious could u dye the fibre?
I love this way of doing this to make my own laser dubbing but where do you get angelina fibers and what is it normally used for besides making dubbing with and how much is it to buy please let me know. Thank you very muck and please keep up the very good work.

+Joe Duca Thanks for watching and thanks for the sub. I've been making lots of different colors and use the dubbing a lot.
Looks perfect
Thank you Trent Nichols, much appreciated, Cheers, see you in the next video.
Where did you get the big bags of sparkle? I have been making dubbing out of hares mask, and coyote and some squirrel, but have had to buy the expensive sparkle material from the fly shop. A little help please.
FOR REAL
Thanks buddy nice tip 👍👍👍
Thanks a million, John Lyons. It's great to have you stop by the channel. All the best!
I been using a coffee grinder for making dubbing.
Thank you harleyman. I was thinking I should put together a video of different ways to blend including the grinder. I love the grinder for short fibers like rabbit and squirrel dubbing. Cheers
fantastic video. cant wait to make some....
Where do you get the Angelina fibres in the bulk packs??
Etsy is a good source for a ton of colors. Here is a seller I've used in the past www.etsy.com/listing/218625805/

Yes acrylic works great 👍
Awesome hack!!! Ty😃🐟🐟
You are so welcome!
Where did you buy the angelina fiber?
@@christophercook723 Is that a craft store?
Darren will running the blend together through a coffee grinder give you the same effect?
Hi Kerry, it should be pretty much the same. My only hesitation on the grinder is the length of the fibers. Shorter fibers do great in the grinder but longer ones can get wound on the blades. Same goes for the combs in that they aren't as good for the shorter fibers as they are for longer. Cheers

What kinds of yarn are you making dubbing with? Nymphs? Drys? I know it's an older video but interested in starting to do my own dubbing.
Hi Randy, I used wool in this video, but you can use any yarn. I use a lot of acrylic yarn now and have been moving away from wool. This is mainly for wet flies like steelhead streamers and nymphs.

I would start with Antron perhaps for a dry base, but if you can find something finer that mimics the Fine & Dry dubbing, that is what I would go with. Cheers
where do I find the bulk pearl stuff - It seems to not be defined as UV reflective anyplace. thanks
+Bob Bohner Hi Bob, because it's a craft material it may not be mentioned, but there is a link to the eBay store I've used to purchase my supply. The Violetta pearl is very close to the Hareline UV Pearl ice dubbing. You'll need to cut it a little to get it to the right size.

super - I placed an order
+Bob Bohner Awesome. Good luck, let me know if you have other questions.
Nice!
Cheers!
Thanks bro good info
Thanks for stopping in, Abe Ngoh Angler. Cheers and Keep a hook in your vise!
I found that arcrlic yarn is better an cutting the strands about 6inch then ziptied hanks an by the oz
+Luke Haubrick I've started using acrylic as well and mixing it with wool on occasion. Not sure how you are using the zip ties? Are you using David Collins method of dubbing and wing material?
Piscator Flies yes I am try lionbrand yarn in medium I'm all so on facebook if you have any questions about
nice thanks for sharing
No problem Randy. Thanks for watching.
Thats brilliant - can you make some more like this?
For sure, I have a few more things planned over the coming months for things like this. Thanks for watching.
I want to see DIY wiggle tail material
Where do you get the Angelina?
ron smith I just picked up an ounce on eBay for about 5.50$ you might be able to get it at one of the big box craft stores as well.
Piscator Flies do you have a link?
Here is where I bought mine. It's on sale for 4.28/oz right now, it's about 30 bags worth of Ice dub.
www.ebay.com/itm/Angelina-Crystal-Violetta-Fibers-One-Ounce-29-g-/192141661217?hash=item2cbc891421:m:m107m2KTxtdTd0kqkRQK_Dg
where did you find Angelina fibers? I can only find bulk supply
If you don't want the bulk, you can grab a package of the Hareline Ice Dub UV Pearl and just add a little into the blend.
Embellishment Village sells it. Get the Jelly bean pack to try. Its plenty of material to play around with.
www.embellishmentvillage.com/store.php?cat=21
More colors:

The Crimped Hot Fix Angelina is exactly what hairline is calling ice ripple fiber but way cheaper. It can be used to make heads on streamer like laser dub.
www.embellishmentvillage.com/store.php?cat=20
allen hulsey Amazon has sample packs in multiple colored packs.
like see midnight sun for pike tie
That would be a great blend. Cheers
Never heard of Angelina fibre
so simple
Get a cheap coffee grinder and you can do this much faster, but it's a cool video though.
