Hareline Adhesive Backed Ice Dub Shimmer Sheer

Hareline's Ice Dub is one of those materials that just plain works, and with Hareline's Adhesive Backed Ice Dub Shimmer Sheer, you can get that same fishy effect on wings, wingcases, cheeks, bodies, and more. This material takes Ice Dub and impregnates it into a clear adhesive-backed sheet so that you can easily cut it to whatever shape you want. Made in a bunch of different colors, this material has you covered whether you're whipping up a box of dragonflies or tying up brightly colored nymphs to turn heads on a cold winter day.

Uses

Hareline's Adhesive Backed Ice Dub Shimmer can be cut to nearly any shape or length that you like. This allows you to use it as wings on dry flies, wrap it as a body, cut it into cheeks, or use it as a wingcase. With the Ice Dub being added to the adhesive-backed sheet, this is a great option anytime you're looking to add some flash to your patterns without using any dubbing techniques.

Comparisons

Adhesive Backed Ice Dub Shimmer Sheer is a unique material without a perfect comparable alternative. One option is to simply dub Ice Dub, but that's a bit more limiting than the use of a sheet and requires you to apply the dubbing to your thread. Another alternative is Hedron's Mirage Opal Sheet. This is a sheet similar to the Adhesive Backed Ice Dub Shimmer Sheer, but it doesn't have the adhesive backing and it's also a large sheet of flash without the same effect as the Ice Dub Shimmer. While these are all great tying materials for a variety of patterns, if you're looking for that sheeted Ice Dub look, it's best to stick with the original.
