Semperfli Kapok Dry Fly Dubbing

Kapok Dubbing is a thrilling new development in the world of dubbing! Kapok is a plant fiber similar to cotton. Famously used to make life jackets in WWII because of it's incredible buoyancy, Kapok is hollow and naturally hydrophobic, able to support up to 30 times its weight! You'll find that this dubbing is noticeably finer than superfine and tears more easily.

Kapok is a natural hollow fibre that when Kapok Dubbing is dubbed into split thread it retains its buoyancy and will help your dry flies float better than any other natural dubbing- it is half the thickness of superfine dubbing! Some tyers refer to it as ‘instant moles fur’ or ‘moles fur in different colours’ as its rather similar with a very short fibre
