I bought this 12-compartment dubbing box with cc points a while back and wasn't tying much at the time. Been on a bit of binge lately hence this review.
I ordinarily cut the back fur from the squirrel skin and blend my own dubbing, and that is fine to a point. My hope with this dubbing box was to have very spiky natural squirrel dubbing in a variety of colors for thoraxes on nymphs and collars on certain dries.
I was disappointed that the dubbing here is no more spiky or buggy than run of the mill hare's ear dubbing and in fact that would be an improvement. These dubbings have a blend of some sparkly material, a bit of squirrel and what appears to be sheared rabbit, with the rabbit being the main ingredient.
It doesn't mention it on the Cabela's site, but this is Davy Wotton SLF Squirrel Dubbing, at least that is what it says on the box.
The product is in the list of options in the link below:
