Your favorite dubbing tool?

Great idea Duck

I'm a split-thread dubbing looper so I seldom use a dubbing spinner. If I do use one for a larger fly, it is Cal Byrd's Shepard's Tool.

Ditto. I generally use split thread on smaller applications. For coarse materials on larger flies, it's often in a loop with Cal's dubbing tool. Sometimes on the Norvise.

I picked up a Walker's Dubbit tool several years after I began tying. Looked like the specialized gizmo I needed for tying those big stonefly nymphs. I understand some folks really like the Dubbit, but not me. The lightweight wood base makes no sense.

Seems like the general design of a sheperd's tool is pretty popular.

Byron, I have one of the Kelly Galloup hooks and like it fine... I do use the split thread method a lot but like this tool best for loops. Doug.

Thanks Doug,
I will be staying at his Slide Inn next month and intend to pick one up at that time.
I like the idea of the bodkin at the other end of the tool.

I use a standard Sheppards hook as posted by Jay.
