[@SeanLarkan]

Brilliant, first-rate description & an array of important tips; thanks v much! Would love to see you applying these principles to salt water patterns like brush flies and sempers, which I and anyone who chases GTs et al, mainly use.

[@jasonwhitsett8945]

Thanks for the tips!!! Will be trying these out for sure

[@MyItalians]

Thank you Brain, for this video. I've been looking into dubbing brush tables. You just convinced me to spend more time at the vise and work on the dubbing loop.

[@JohnDozierSr50]

Brian,always ready for new tying and patterns to try.thanks so much.

[@chardy114]

I really love watching your material videos, they’re well thought out and honestly make me a little sad when they’re over. Keep up the good work!

[@easttnflyfreak2870]

Great tips ! Thanks Brian !!

[@tobys8127]

Love the channel just started tying last week you've been a big inspiration definitely gonna try dubbing loops this weekend

[@richardandrews7232]

Love the video. Love all your videos. Thanks for helping out all us new tiers. One day I’ll be brave enough to try the loops.

[@davehall2160]

Now that was some great info Brian Thanks for the video

[@Greg_McLaughlin_Outdoors]

love your videos Brian, keep up the great work.

[@blingforyourstringwithmatt6391]

Loved this video. Dubbing loops are so valuable when tying. Definitely learned a few new tricks from this one!

[@Trublue23]

Good tutorial I'm just getting into fly tying. Thanks for the vid!

[@coyotehunter1513]

Very nice! Dig the coloring of the purple an white.

[@the_flies_that_bind]

Another awesome tips video! I learn something every time!

[@joshalters3940]

Totally agree not used enough on new patterns.....nice video thanks.

[@jrrj1100]

Love using dubbing loops! You are right, I have that dubbing spinner and it made loops way more fun to use. And yes, I use wax as well, sometimes. Thanks for an awesome video!

[@maxwellpfaff9744]

Love your videos Brian! I keep learning new techniques! Thank you

[@billgouckenour2146]

THANK YOU FOR SHARING!

[@ermannodangelo1062]

Glad I found your channel, so informative and you tie amazing stuff🪶

[@davidclunk8126]

Thanks for sharing the "Dubbing Loop" & the benefits to using them. I learned this procedure a long while back, plus I love sharing this method with others, especially in my tying club, that tend to want to shy away from this method. I also use the "Composite Loop" you shared when I am tying many of my patterns, it allows so many variations that make the fly unique & they work very well for me in West Michigan. Thanks again !!

[@emirselimovic1350]

Thanks for the useful tips!

[@ericjohannesen5480]

I have used dubbing loops on smaller trout flies but have had had problems with bigger dubbing brushes for pike and bass flies. Great video!

[@danielhittle67]

Definitely gonna add this to my arsenal. Great video.

[@Hunter711pa]

Thanks for the video Brian I really enjoy the tying tips videos always pick something up that helps me with my tying.

[@DrWatson2798]

Great refresher vid Brian. As always excellent content-keep up the good work!

[@johnnylightning1491]

I don't understand why folks would criticize anyone for using wax on a dubbing loop. It makes things easier and hold together better why criticize, but I guess haters hate, but it ain't me. Good class buddy. Keep the good stuff coming.

[@DSugarB]

Another awesome video Brian! Huge fan of dubbing loops here in the PNW for our Steelhead ❤️

[@chrisbukowski9434]

Thanks for the lesson I use them all the time nice job

[@paulbridgers3820]

Love your videos, thanks for sharing.

[@jimmycastellanos4944]

I gotta try dubbing loops this summer

[@docleedc]

Thanks for all the amazing tips!! I’m new at this and they are very helpful!

[@Campbelloutfitters]

Thank you, Brian! Good info and motivation to bring them back to my desk. Cheers!

[@tonymccall2162]

Really enjoy the tips.

[@cameronromero3379]

Always enjoy your videos creep up the good work.

[@barnman73]

Thank you for all your continuing education. I hold my breath when I watch someone adjust materials in the loop before the spinning: )

[@Chaos6-1]

Thanks for this man..I get frustrated sometimes when I mess up and don’t circle back to techniques. Your stuff helps so much! Thanks brother.

[@cgcalhoun1936]

Dubbing loops are fantastic! Very good video.

[@codylamaar]

Nice one thanks Brian

[@Hannah-md9eo]

I am a mediocre fly tyer and I have a lot of problems with dubbing loops but this video has helped me up my fly tying game! Thank you!!!

[@edwardmlotkiewicz2343]

Care package. Like the video on various dubbing methods.

[@qteam_tx_fishing]

Thanks for the info

[@user-ej2zg2yx3y]

Wow !! Now I’m not alone ! Waxed line for dubbing loop ! LOVE IT

[@alexhendrick8288]

Thanks for another great video sir.

[@robertharsh68]

I needed this class. Rookie fly tyer. I use wax

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

I use wax too. 😎

[@bradleyditty1601]

Good looking fly!

[@fish4life226]

Always excellent videos.

[@toddschotts4116]

Thank you for your videos.

[@richardkidder3449]

Marabou and flash are great to mix in a dubbing loop using the Loon tweezers. They make an awesome flowing head. The first fly I tried this with is the Drunk Drea. Killer pattern.

[@mlevesque33]

Wow! Seriously, that purple wooly bugger looks amazing. I'll have to get those tweezers. 😃

[@markhammer1289]

Great content thanks

[@nymphingnewt7639]

Great video as always 👏🏻

[@ronhopprr9873]

Great information

[@mukmuk775]

A nice video to wake up to on a Friday morning. Thanks!

[@njb519]

Dubbing loops are excellent method on many flies.

[@harleytakuachemode]

A use for all that black barred rabbit I have. Thank you!

[@Swamp-Fox]

I'm gonna have to try a dubbing loop with my wolly buggers. I have a homemade dubbing spinner made from a brass drawer knob with a wire hook epoxied in place. That slicker brush is a great idea! I have always used wax on my bench.

[@scottcollette2755]

I really love dubbing loops, mostly because I'm no good a dubbing the more traditional way. Interesting way of incorporating rabbit strips in a dubbing loop. I love how it looked. I'll be trying that myself.

[@billymoore3500]

I really need to use dubbing loops more often , thanks for the video, looks like I'll be adding to my tool list and material list , I've used dubbing loops on a few streamers using rabbit fur and marabu .

[@dbkrets2]

Great see this one, I struggle with this all of the time!

[@Ghosthawk332nd]

Btw, love your peak vise! And I see we have the same tools. Only I use the W shape on the spinner. No hate on wax here, in fact I blend my own from beeswax and bow rosin. Just tied 3 different buggers using your dubbing loop and fusion. Nice stuff. Great video.

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Thanks for watching!!

[@SCYCOFISHINGHUNTING]

I LOVE dubbing loops! I cant split thread to save my life. I use them on all sorts of flies, from nymphs to streamers! I also made my own dubbing spinner. I used some metal nuts for weight, and wire. I bent the wire to get the hook shape, and filled the nuts with hot glue and then put the wire in. It works like a charm.

[@gregnikitin8954]

Another great video

[@jeffprice4611]

Why anyone would hate on anything that improves grip is beyond me. I use wax a lot, mostly prepared fly tiers wax, to add grip to what I’m tying in. It help keep materials from moving around the hook. Good explanation for newer tiers.

[@chili1593]

Excellent thanks

[@gregnikitin8954]

Another great video.

[@ramonzetina6781]

Agree with you Brian, anyth1ing can be do it with dubbing loops, I use it to make saltwater flies: shrimp bodies, some worms, baitfish and minnows.

[@scottmarconti856]

Dubbing loops are the BOMB!!!! use them all the time

[@Fernando_Woolybooger]

It was at 11:43 that I immediately went to amazon and bought a dog slicker brush. WOW! Thank you!

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

They work really, really well.

[@Utahlonghorn]

Excellent tactic with rabbit fur that transfer to the tweezers is always difficult for me. Great video as always keep producing the great content.

[@AZStickman]

Great video!!

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Thanks so much!

[@jerryjohnson1908]

Good video. Needed the advice! No pun intended 😊

[@quintthefishingwolf1716]

I remember in the last couple years I switched off from using chenille to dubbing loops for my woolly buggers, not sure if it was a big improvement on my catch rate but definitely a lot more control of color and the body. I do have a question, I've seen a couple different styles for the... I guess head on a dubbing spinner, like the single hook I see in the video though mine tend to have that twin hook style, I don't know there's an advantage or a disadvantage to using a single or double hook design on a spinner or if it just boils down to personal preference?

[@evanhogan9219]

Use loops on almost every streamer pattern and beyond. Great video!

[@jonathanlagasse9531]

Absolutely love doing streamers with compound loops

[@kona09minimal]

Haha love it ! Of course wax ! Use the same as u are !😅 And yeah I use dubbing loops alot ! Even on the smaller fly's just splice the tyingwire !

[@randychappell5955]

Good video. I struggle with them.

I'm too cheap to buy dubbing brushes, so I build my gamechangers with dubbing loops. Takes a while but they come out great!

[@andreburattini7371]

I love double loops

[@sigurdurmarolafsson4183]

being a guy that in manages to "overwind" the thread ( and therefor brake it) in about 30% of my D-loops, I really liked this video even more than I normally do.

[@harryjoesather6539]

hey man thanks great video. and nice trim work...lol...see ya joe

[@tomjackson3988]

I requested you to do a video on dubbing loops. I realize that you probably have had 100s if not 1000s of requests for a dubbing loop video, but I still will think you did this for me, 🤣. Awesome video, thank you.

[@jeremykrauae4378]

Love those wooly buggers!

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Thanks! Cool little twist.

[@Boon-ie1rq]

Any tips on getting squirrel micro zonker to stick to the dubbing loop thread? My hair keeps slipping out when I brush it out even though my dubbing loop is tight. Don't have that problem with rabbit zonker though.

[@justinlaffin5326]

Don't be ashamed of the wax. Everything needs wax now a days. Still use wax all the time! Love your stuff man!

[@parksdoc]

Thanks!

[@parksdoc]

Such a great teacher! I’ve watched hundreds of tying videos, and yours are up there with a handful of great ones! Thanks for your good work!

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Thank you SO much!!

[@jackreeves3001]

Thanks for your time and talent! I learned a bunch. KANSAS

[@edpeter9411]

Thanks for the tips. I have been guilty of “smashing” and didn’t even realize it. Now I know.

[@johna2955]

About half of the materials I put in the dubbing loop end up on my table when spinning; end result is a very thin brush. Any recommendations to reduce the waste?

[@chandlerking88]

If you end up starting to make stuff from leather, you should let us follow along. I’ve been in an EDC kick as well with knives. Leather always intrigued me, especially for fixed blade sheaths.

[@ronwalczak7120]

Love it

[@samipajunen5843]

Hi Brian, nice vid but did you intentionally leave split thread technique from the vid because you are making bigger flies in general like streamers or is it just a technique that you dont just use? Either case do you see any issues to use split thread technique for bigger flies, because of weakening the thread for example? Secondly do you use for body for example technique where you ”dub” either of the loop thread lightly and after this you spin the loop as normally, so basically you are making a more durable dubbed body because the additional thread goes ”over” the dubbing.

[@JCS_72]

Who makes that spinner? I picked up one like that from J. Stockard, but it doesn't spin nearly as fast!

[@hreinnwaiter]

I like you video a lot can you make a video of tupe fly tying keep going 👍🤛👍😎

[@JimMurphyinSTL]

No shaming here. I use wax too! Thanks for the video, Brian.

[@deankrueger7178]

The best tyers know when to use materials, including wax when needed. Haters gonna hate....oh well...keep em coming Brian!!!

[@jaydehardt2441]

What brand of spinner is that?

[@Justonflys775]

Can you do a Heisenberg streamer?

[@genebattaglia886]

Do you have the link for the dubbing spinner you showed? It is not the Loon one.
