Tip
Tip: Dub a body without a loop for speed, keeping it somewhat uniform; slight buildup toward the front is acceptable
How to do it: Dub bodies directly without a loop for speed, keeping them fairly uniform with slight front buildup acceptable
Mistake it fixes: Using a dubbing loop for every body when speed matters
Why it works: Direct dubbing is faster than loop dubbing. Slight front buildup is natural, as thorax areas are thicker.
When it matters most: Fly tying, dubbing
