Hareline Hares Ear Plus Dub

Hareline Hare’s Ear Plus Dub extends classic rabbit dubbing by adding pronounced guard hairs and a small amount of Antron. The natural base supplies muted, uneven colour transitions, the stiffer fibres create a buggy outline, and the synthetic component contributes a restrained glint rather than an overpowering metallic shine.

Construction and use

Twist it directly onto thread for abdomens or use a dubbing loop for fuller bodies. After wrapping, pull out selected fibres with a brush or hook-and-loop tool to suggest legs and gills. Compared with regular Hareline Dubbin, the finished body is more deliberately spiky and already includes a subtle light-catching accent.

• Blend: rabbit fur, guard hairs and a small proportion of Antron.
• Effect: naturally mottled, spiky bodies with discreet sparkle.
• Uses: Hare’s Ear nymphs, caddis larvae, wet flies and soft hackles.
• Finish: brushing exposes fibres that imitate legs and gills.
