Choosing the Right Blend for the Job

When it comes to dubbing, texture, flash, buoyancy, and natural movement matter.

At Precision Fly & Tackle, we carry a carefully selected range of Fulling Mill dubbings so tiers can match any pattern, water type, or seasonal hatch. Below is your complete breakdown of each dubbing, including best uses, fly examples, and what makes each blend stand out.

Fulling Mill Eco Warrior Dub

Eco Warrior Dub blends natural and synthetic fibers in an environmentally conscious format. It creates messy, lifelike silhouettes — perfect for patterns that need movement and translucency.

• Best for: Nymphs, attractor patterns, “buggy” bodies.
• Try it in: Hare’s Ear variations, attractor nymphs, caddis larvae, guide-style flies.

Fulling Mill Tactical Microflash Dub UV

This super-fine dubbing contains UV flash for subtle pop without overdoing it. It’s ideal for tactical flies where a hint of shimmer triggers strikes in pressured fish.

• Best for: Nymph collars, hotspots, small attractor thoraxes
• Try it in: Collar hotspots on Euro nymphs, perdigons, micro stoneflies.

Fulling Mill Tactical Dry Fly Dub

Made from ultra-fine, water-repellent synthetic fibers. Perfect for creating smooth, segmented dry fly bodies from the tiniest Midge up to large Terrestrials and everything in between.

• Best for: Dry flies requiring floatation + fine, tapered bodies
• Try it in: BWO dries, Sulphur dries, midges, parachutes, CDC patterns.

Fulling Mill Euro Nymph Body Dub

This is a fine, slightly spiky dubbing that dubs tight and sinks fast. It builds lean, accurate profiles for modern competition-style nymphs.

• Best for: Slim, compact Euro nymph bodies
• Try it in: Perdigons (under resin), Czech nymphs, Frenchies.

Fulling Mill Tactical Microflash Dubbing

This is the non-UV version of Microflash — still subtle, still fine, and ideal for flies where you want shimmer while keeping a thin profile.

• Best for: Hotspots, sparkle bodies, wet flies, emergers, attractor patterns
• Try it in: Soft hackles, sparkle nymphs, flashy emergers.

Fulling Mill Euro Nymph Flash Dub

A blend of our Euro Nymph Body dub but with highlights of our Tactical Microflash running through it for extra added attraction and visibility in stained or deep water — exactly what Euro nymph anglers need for fast-sinking attractor patterns. 

• Best for: Hotspots, flashy bodies, attractor nymphs
• Try it in: Flashback patterns, “jig streamer nymphs,” anchor flies.

Fulling Mill Ultra Dry Dub

Spiked with our Ultra-Dry Fiber to give a subtle sparkle and increased buoyancy. Finer than Tactical Dry Dub, Ultra Dry Dub is naturally water-repellent and crafts the smoothest possible dry fly bodies.

• Best for: high-floating, low-maintenance dry flies
• Try it in: Caddis patterns, stimulators, mayflies, and indicator dry flies

Fulling Mill Euro Nymph Thorax Dub

A slightly spikier, more buoyant dubbing that gives thoraxes definition without sacrificing sink rate. Perfect for creating contrast in tactical patterns.

• Best for: Thorax builds on Euro nymphs
• Try it in: Frenchies, quill bodies, jig nymph thoraxes.

Fulling Mill Ultra Nymph Dub

A super-versatile, moderately spiky dubbing that adds lifelike movement to almost any nymph. Think of it as your “do-everything” dubbing.

• Best for: General-purpose nymphing Euro style nymphs and shrimp type patterns
• Try it in: Hare’s Ear variants, PT nymphs, caddis patterns.

Fulling Mill Tactical SF Dub

SF Dub is a synthetic fusion blend that creates extremely buggy silhouettes with internal shine. Ideal for tiers who want movement without bulk.

• Best for: Shaggy, buggy, translucent bodies
• Try it in: French nymphs, river shrimp/scuds, caddis emergers.

Fulling Mill Voodoo Streamer Dubbing

This long-fibered streamer dubbing moves beautifully in the water. Its mix of synthetics and flash creates bold baitfish bodies with incredible shimmer.

• Best for: making brushes, dubbed bodies, and heads on streamers
• Try it in: streamers and saltwater patterns.

Fulling Mill CDC Dubbing

Made from our super premium CDC feathers, this dubbing adds natural buoyancy and movement. It creates incredibly lifelike emergent profiles.

• Best for: Dry flies and emergers
• Try it in: CDC emergers, caddis pupae, BWO emergers.

Fulling Mill Eco Trigger Dubbing

An expansion of the popular Eco Warrior Dubbing. Featuring subtle traces of fluorescent synthetic fibers to give your flies an extra pop.

• Best for: Hotspots, attractor tags, pressure-water nymphs
• Try it in: Tag nymphs, collars, hotspot thoraxes.

Fulling Mill Argentine Hare Dubbing

Hare dubbing is a timeless material, and Fulling Mill’s Argentine blend is extra spiky and naturally buggy. 

• Best for: Natural, scruffy nymphs and wets
• Try it in: Hare’s Ear nymphs, soft hackles, caddis larva.

Fulling Mill Micro Minnow Dubbing

Micro Minnow dub is a short-fibered, flashy synthetic dubbing perfect for tying smaller Streamer, Predator, and Saltwater flies. Great when used as a conventional dubbing, it really comes into its own when making stacked or veiled heads on Streamer and Baitfish patterns.

• Best for: making stacked or veiled heads on streamer patterns
• Try it in: Jig streamers, smaller streamers, and baitfish patterns.

Fulling Mill Tactical Peacock Dubbing

Peacock is a classic trigger. This synthetic alternative keeps the iridescent look while being far more durable. Dub it tight for a nice, slim body, or loose for a more shaggy appearance.

• Best for: Replacing natural peacock herl with durability
• Try it in: Frenchies, PT variations, attractor nymph thoraxes.
