Synthetic Hends Spectra Dubbing for nymphs, dry flies, wet flies and streamers
Hends Spectra Dubbing is a classic, well-known synthetic material trusted by fly tiers across Europe. By adding this premium dubbing to your flies, you can easily increase their effectiveness when targeting trout, grayling and many other species. Even a very small amount of Spectra fibers provides intense shine and flash, helping the fly stand out in a wide range of conditions. You can also discover more fly tying materials from this brand in our Hends fly tying materials collection.
You can use Hends Spectra Dubbing on its own to form the entire body of a fly, or apply it as a subtle accent behind the bead, in the thorax area, or under the hackle. It is also perfect for creating hotspots, collars and trigger points that encourage fish to strike.
Spectra Dubbing blends extremely well with natural materials. By mixing just a small pinch with hare, rabbit or squirrel dubbing, you can add a gentle sparkling effect while keeping a natural appearance. This makes it ideal for modern tactical nymphs and subtle patterns where too much shine is undesirable.
The material is known for its high iridescent shine, excellent durability and vibrant color range. Even a tiny amount can noticeably improve the fly’s visibility and fishing performance. You can explore a wide selection of shades in our Hends dubbings category.
Where you can use it
Hends Spectra Dubbing is ideal for tying a wide range of modern fly patterns, including:
- Tags, collars and hotspots
- Nymph bodies and thoraxes
- Wet fly thoraxes and caddis patterns
- Emergers and pupa imitations
- Streamer heads and attractor points
Alternative to natural materials
Spectra Dubbing can replace natural peacock herl in many patterns. With numerous peacock-style shades available, it provides a similar look while offering far superior durability — especially important when fishing for toothy predators or in fast, abrasive water.
Color range and performance
You can choose from natural, subtle tones or bright, highly visible hot colors with various sparkling effects. All colors have been thoroughly tested and trusted by top Czech and European competition fly fishermen.
