Monster Dub is approximately 3 in. in length with the featured and special ingredient being Alpaca fiber, this dubbing is ideal for streamer heads, building up bodies, collars, adding tailing, etc. The natural Alpaca blends extremely well with the synthetic fibers making it very easy to work with, while the blend offers just the right amount of flash.

Franken Fly's Monster Dubbing is an excellent wool substitute. Because of its packaging, 100% of the material is usable unlike wool off of the hide. The natural fibers that compose the dubbing give it a high water viscosity, and the mid/long fiber length makes for ideal streamer heads. The subtle flash fibers are evenly blended throughout and add a little something extra to the fly. Great color availability, and overall, it's a pleasure to tie with.
This is great for streamer heads. I'm a big fan of the alpaca fibers in it. It has a different texture than laser dub or bruiser blend. I'd like to describe it as natural-ish feeling. Also, there's some shorter fibers than you'd get with laser dub. I really enjoy tying with this dubbing.
I love using Senyo Laser Dub to build streamer heads, so I took a flyer on a couple packs of the Monster dub. Sold! This may be my new favorite. Softer than Laser Dub, there's nice movement in the water, and it's somewhat translucent when wet. I used the yellow with red painted eyes, and the red showed through the material. I will be buying a lot more of this in the future.
This stuff is great. From streamer bodies & heads, to super buggy sowbugs, Monster Dub has a great profile, nice sheen, and the perfect amount of flash. Dubs on easier than angora with no need for dubbing wax. I'm gonna need more of this!
