I got this in the dispenser as it contained most of the colors I needed and a few to experiment with. Mostly use the orange and olives for my shellback scuds and ties very nicely with good shine and leggy action.
I really enjoy this dubbing when I need a buggy look. It has become my go-to for scuds but also looks great on other nymph patterns. The colors are fantastic as well. Great product.
I’ve never considered myself to be a very good dubber when it comes to synthetics. Seems like as much spins off the thread as on. Not so with Sow Scud. When I need a bit of flash and sparkle and lots of nymphy-caddisy shades of colour plus hot-spots, I use SowScud. Great for scuds, but also terrific on Triple Threat Caddis, Orange-butt caddis, Hotspot flymph, Soft Hackle GRHEar, and Snatchers. Pretty much anything that likes to be buggy while retaining a tapered profile.
I've not found a material so easy to dub. Even wrapped thin and tight, one can still easily tease out legs. The colors are subdued, as one finds in natural shrimp and nymphs, and the addition of antron and plastic sparkle makes them almost transparent. The rainbow colors, olives, tans, and pearl are perfect for shrimp. Not so bad for nymphs as well. A five-star product!
