Thanks for sharing. The thing about dubbing brushes are once you use them you never go back. They greatly expand the creative possibilities while making tying much faster and easier. I especially like the idea of getting the dubbing tray out of the way when spinning the brush as this lets larger materials twist more easily and make an even 360 degree dubbing brush.

Hi,
I've been making dubbing brushes since 1972 ala Leisenring. I've continued to use his technique for certain flies and find nothing matches the result of dubbing brushes.

I wonder how much that cute little tool is...I didn't see a price/place to buy one...I like cool tools...that might be fun to have.

Jim, have you figured a way to adapt yours so there could also be a drop away platform?

One of the things I've noticed with the kind we have is that if you leave the material in the trough and especially if you twist the wire very tight the brush is less bushy.

I was kind of thinking how I would go about making one ??

I could possibly adapt my leader furling jig to do dubbing brushes. Hmmmmm.
