Hareline Polar Dub

A fine-textured dubbing with just the right amount of flash to add an attractive sparkle to your flies, Hareline's Polar Dub is one of those dubbings that can tie it all. A versatile material, Polar Dub can do anything from whipping up shrimp to taking on a bonefish flat, streamers to strip into large trout, and it even makes a great hotspot on your favorite Euro nymph. Polar Dub is made entirely of synthetics and features pretty long fibers, making it easy to work with and giving you the ability to tie both small and larger flies. Polar Dub comes in a ton of different colors, so whether you're adding a flashy element to your favorite scud pattern or want something bright to attract muddy-water smallmouth, finding the perfect option is easy.

Uses

Polar Dub is a pretty versatile dubbing that can be used anytime you want a bit of sparkle in your flies. With its fine texture, Polar Dub is perfect anytime you want to tightly wrap a body or thorax, but its long-fibered build also allows you to pick it out for a buggier look. From nymph bodies/thoraxes, streamer bodies, and all the way to crustaceans, this dubbing can tie it all.

Comparisons

Another popular dubbing choice that allows you to add some flash to your flies is Hareline's Ice Dub. Ice Dub is a super flashy synthetic dubbing that's easy to work with and makes your flies sparkle, but it differs a bit from Polar Dub in that the fibers aren't as long and it's a bit more coarse than Polar Dub. This makes Ice Dub a great choice if you want a chunkier application, where Polar Dub works better whenever you're looking for a tighter dub. Also, the flash in Polar Dub is a bit more subtle than what you get with Ice Dub.
