Hends Metallic Dubbing is a synthetic material made from thin metallized sheets. Cutting them into small fibers allows you to work with the shimmer as dubbing, rather than as tinsel strips.
When used alone, this material lets the metallic color take center stage. When mixed with another material, it distributes the shimmer throughout the texture of the blend. The gold, silver, and bronze options, along with various other colors, allow you to choose the right shimmer depending on the part of the fly you’re tying.
