A little late to the party here, but when I want a tight body with difficult to dib materials, ice dub, seal,... I wax my thread, twist dubbing in the thread, it doesn't have to be perfect, just proportionally even. Double the thread over, and spin the loop.Spring BWO
Hook: TMC 3769
Tail: pheasant tail
Rib: small gold wire
Abdomen: Vevus body quill
Thorax: olive ice dub
If anyone knows how to tighten the ice dub on the thorax, I would appreciate the advice. I’m using a dubbing loop with 8/0 thread.
