Hareline Krystal Dub - Multi Color Assortment w/ Dispenser

Equally buggy as it is flashy, Hareline's Krystal Dub brings your flies the best of both worlds. Combining rabbit dubbing with Ice Dub, this dubbing is easy to apply to your thread and has a great texture that's full of movement. With its combination of fibers, this dubbing allows your flies to reflect light in the water while also adding a natural appearance. One of those materials that's available in a range of natural colors, Krystal Dub is a great choice whether you're restocking your nymph box or getting ready to hit the flats for a week of tailing bonefish.

Uses

Krystal Dub does an excellent job at absorbing water, making it a solid choice for nymphs, streamers, wet flies, crustaceans, and emergers. This dubbing can be applied directly onto the thread or worked into a loop if you need more bulk. With its blend of natural rabbit and synthetic Ice Dub, it reflects light in the water and can be used to tie both fresh and saltwater patterns.

Comparisons

Since Krystal Dub is a combination of rabbit dubbing and Ice Dub, an alternative would be to use either of those dubbings on their own. Going this route is a good choice if you want your flies to look a bit more natural or something a bit brighter and flashier. However, if you're looking for a more middle-of-the-road approach to your flies and want the flash and the buggy effect, it's best to stick with the original.
