Quick take

A brass dubbing twister for applying dubbing to fly tying thread with two size options.

The Dr. Slick Dubbing Twister is a small brass fly tying tool for spinning dubbing into a loop on your thread. Its brass body has enough heft to help with bushy dubbing loops, and the 2 inch version has no handle. It suits tiers just starting out as well as experienced ones building their own flies.

Best for

  • Creating dubbed bodies for nymphs and soft flies
  • Professional and hobbyist fly tyers
  • Building fuzzy dubbing for natural look

Skip if
