UNI Dubbing Brush Wire is a strong stainless steel fly tying wire designed for building custom dubbing brushes for freshwater and saltwater fly patterns. Whether you are creating slim trout streamer brushes, buggy nymph collars, baitfish heads, or large predator fly bodies, this wire gives tyers a durable core for spinning and securing dubbing, flash, marabou, feathers, synthetics, and long fibers.
Dubbing brushes are one of the most versatile ways to add movement, bulk, texture, and durability to flies. With UNI Dubbing Brush Wire, you can create custom material blends at the vise and build brushes that match your exact pattern, water type, species, and profile needs.
UNI Dubbing Brush Wire gives fly tyers more control over fly design. Instead of relying only on pre-made brushes, you can build your own with the exact mix of dubbing, flash, feathers, marabou, craft fur, or synthetic fibers you want. The stainless steel wire holds materials securely and creates durable brushes that can stand up to aggressive fish, heavy current, and repeated use.
UNI Dubbing Brush Wire is ideal for tying:
Stainless Steel Wire Construction - Creates a strong, durable brush core for freshwater streamers, saltwater flies, predator patterns, and custom fly tying blends.
Build Custom Dubbing Brushes - Lets tyers combine dubbing, flash, marabou, feathers, synthetic fibers, and natural materials into one easy-to-wrap brush.
Great for Streamers & Predator Flies - Perfect for adding movement, bulk, and profile to trout streamers, bass flies, pike flies, musky flies, and saltwater baitfish patterns.
Multiple Wire Sizes - Available in Small, Medium, and Large so you can match wire strength and diameter to your fly size and material blend.
Durable Fly Construction - Once twisted, the wire traps materials securely and creates long-lasting bodies, collars, heads, and shoulders.
Small .003" - Best for subtle, lightweight brushes used on trout streamers, finesse patterns, soft dubbing blends, small feathers, and delicate natural materials.
Medium .006" - The most versatile all-around size for standard streamer brushes, general dubbing blends, flash, marabou, synthetics, and medium-sized freshwater flies.
Large .009" - Built for heavy-duty predator fly brushes using long, bulky fibers. Ideal for pike flies, musky flies, large bass streamers, and saltwater patterns.
Wax the wire lightly before adding materials to help fibers grip and stay in place while twisting. Lay materials evenly across a dubbing table or brush-making tool so the wire core stays centered and the brush spins evenly.
Start spinning slowly to catch the fibers securely, then increase tension once the materials are locked in. After the brush is finished, use a wire pet brush or dubbing brush at a slight angle to free trapped fibers and create a fuller, buggier profile.
