8-colour wool dubbing box for tying crab patterns, sculpins, and mayflies. Natural wool absorbs water for better sink rate—versatile and easy to use.
This boxed wool dubbing set features eight hand-selected colours ideal for tying crab patterns, sculpins, mayflies, and other sinking fly bodies. Made from natural wool fibres, the material absorbs water easily, giving your flies a realistic weight and movement in the water. Whether you're crafting saltwater swimming crabs or freshwater nymphs, this dubbing delivers on performance and versatility.
Unlike synthetic dubbing, the wool has a slightly coarser texture that helps build bulk while maintaining control during tying. It's especially effective for wool-head sculpins or replacing deer hair in patterns where you want a heavier sink rate. It can also be used as a traditional dubbing material to shape insect bodies or thoraxes with added natural feel.
Each box contains eight colours, giving you variety for matching different hatches, building lifelike profiles, or creating standout patterns. Suitable for both freshwater and saltwater fly tying, this wool is easy to blend, dub, and trim to suit your tying style.
Whether you’re targeting trout in rivers and lakes or tying saltwater flies for coastal species, this wool dubbing box is a smart addition to your tying bench.
