"Unless your into only tying really big fly's and like agravation trying to get the hair to adhere to the thread, baby seal is what you want."

All seal, polar bear, mole hair, squirrel - anything- will rope-dub without having to adhere to the thread. This is the difference in rope-dubbing as opposed to other dubbing methods. The thread or wire does not twist, and the dubbing material does NOT adhere to the thread or wire, yet seal will dub tight enough to make segments.
