Why Kapok Dubbing?
Kapok’s hollow fibers and natural waxes eliminate the need for added floatants, while its silk-like softness lets you build slender bodies or buggy thoraxes. Mix it with other dubbings to boost floatability and texture, or use it alone for classic dry patterns.
Whether you tie comparaduns, emergers, or parachute dries, the Troutline Kapok Dubbing Box Set ensures you’ll always have the right color on hand—straight from our eco-friendly kit to your fly line.

VERY GOOD DUBBING. I MADE A FEW NICE MICRO FLIES AND THEY FLOAT EXCELLENT. I LOVE YOUR SERVICE, THE PARCEL ARRIVED IN HUNGARY IN 2 DAYS! PERFECT AND KEEP YOUR GOOD WORK! (Posted on 5/17/2019)Rating - stunning dubbing Review by Bob
I received my order in one day after I placed the order, what a great service :). The kapok dubbing looks interesting, nice colors and it dubbs very well. I'm impressed how nice it is and how nice looks on flies. On tip for those who want to use it: you can provide a different shade of the final color using threads in different colors. For example if you use yellow dubbing combined with olive thread you will obtain a fabulous pale watery body which is great with a small CDC wing. Absolutely deadly! (Posted on 5/17/2019)Rating
