This dubbing has become a shop favorite.
We like to tie a lot of streamers up here in
northern Idaho, and Senyo’s is my go-to
material. With a large variety of colors on
the shelves, this fine dubbing has made
creating streamer heads easy. I like to
think of lazer dub as a synthetic substitute
for rams wool. If you are a believer of UV,
each package is blended with thin UV
fibers. However, this dubbing isn’t only for
streamers. Lazer dub also makes a buggy
dubbing for any nymph body.

I find myself applying strands of Predator
Wrap to almost every streamer I tie. The
material is 4-5 inches long, and comes on a
string (similar to chenille), so you can wrap
it if needed. More often than not, I cut the
material off the string, and tie it in where
most people use krystal flash. The Predator
Wrap is thinly barred, giving your fly a more
natural look.
There is a reason that a fly entirely made
a Kreelex was created shortly after the
material hit the shelves. Although it
isn’t barred, Kreelex does a great job of
displaying a mottled flash no other material
can match. Kreelex is a great substitute for
flashabou when you find your flies getting
a little stale. Check out Kraft’s Kreelex
Streamer for motivation.
