Hareline STS Trilobal Dubbing is an exceptional and essential material that every fly tyer should have in their collection. This dubbing is remarkably easy to work with; you can spin it in a dubbing loop or simply dub it between your fingers, with or without dubbing wax. It produces spiky, fuzzy bodies reminiscent of seal fur, effectively reflecting and refracting light, which enhances the appeal of flies to a variety of fish species. While STS is primarily a go-to for steelhead, trout, and salmon, its versatility extends to targeting bonefish, redfish, and tarpon as well.
Another significant advantage of STS Trilobal Dubbing is its extensive color range, offering everything from vibrant hues to subtle creams. The length and texture of this dubbing blend seamlessly with other STS colors or different materials, allowing for creative combinations. It’s often mixed with various Ice Dub shades to craft unique color combinations for our salmon, steelhead, and trout flies.
Additionally, STS Trilobal Dubbing is ideal for adding color spots to Intruder flies, forming collars around cone heads, and enhancing woolly buggers and soft hackles. Its versatility and effectiveness make it a must-have for any fly tyer. Similar in texture and length to semi-seal or real seal, Hareline STS Dubbing features a semi-translucent quality that creates a subtle sheen from different angles. This blend of medium-length, medium-fine trilobal fibers provides a sparkly, lifelike effect, making it suitable for a wide range of freshwater and saltwater patterns. It’s a favorite among fly tyers for good reason.
