Green caddis larvae, large golden stonefly nymphs, march brown nymphs: the list of insects that you can easily imitate with Hareline STS Trilobal Dubbing Trout Multicolor Assortment with Dispenser is nearly endless. STS Trilobal Dubbing offers a buggy appearance, providing the light refraction and translucency needed to fool tough fish. With these twelve natural color options, matching the hatch has never been easier. This assortment offers a cost-effective way to imitate a ton of natural forage—from mayfly nymphs to cranefly larvae, and all the way to sculpin patterns—and it's packaged in a nice reusable dubbing container, which adds even more value to this great deal.

Uses

Like most dubbings, STS Trilobal Dubbing has a variety of applications. Created specifically for salmon, trout, and steelhead, it is also a solid choice for imitating small crustaceans like shrimp in saltwater. Excellent at tying a wide range of patterns and absorbing water, it's most commonly used on nymphs, wet flies, emergers, and streamers. Easy to apply, this dubbing can be spun directly onto your thread, worked into a dubbing loop, or mixed with materials like Ice Dub for extra sparkle.

Comparisons

Spirit River's UV2 Seal-X Dubbing offers similar texture, translucency, and light-refractive properties and is another great choice when tying wet flies, nymphs, and streamers. While not identical, it serves as a substitute for STS Trilobal Dubbing. Additionally, while individual colors of STS Trilobal Dubbing can be purchased separately, buying the 12-color assortment is more cost-effective if you need all these colors.
