Re: [VFB] Dubbing dispensers
I have done something similar with 8-1/2 x 11 page protectors. Only I put in all the materials needed for a certain fly. Hooks and dubbings are put in small zip loc bags and then into the page protector. I label each page and it makes things easier when I want to tie something like a White River Demon, Muddler Minnow, or a Klinkhammer. This is my one attempt so far to get some organization to my otherwise complete mess of fly tying materials.

Re: [VFB] Dubbing dispensers
Wes, This works well, I use 1 gallon plastic zip lock bags. Really makes things simple. I carry five bags for the five flies I normally tie at shows. I see no need to carry a load of stuff I will not be using. As for the hooks, I have a 12 compartment box that will cover any hooks I might need. I was putting them in small bags but I quit doing that.

Re: [VFB] Dubbing dispensers
MeddelandeI like those- wonder if I can get that material here in the states... Could be customized, too: Two dubbings per tube, one out each end.

Here is my shot at a better mousetrap: my favorite dubbing dispenser. It's sawn out of channel plates, which are polyacrylate plates used for transparent roofs over terraces and such. They are double walled plates with ribs dividing the plate into channels. The plate is 0.25 thick and the channels are 0,4 wide. Just saw the plate (they come in 40 x 40) to size (my dispensers are about 5 x 4) and voila. Each of those channels packs the same amount of dubbing as one of the compartments in the compartment boxes we all know. IMO the perfect box for traveling fly tiers.

Re: [VFB] Dubbing dispensers - FYI
Hi, Another idea, which I saw somewhere in a book: larger plastic straws, filled with dubbing and cut to an angle at the end are nice too. But didn't tried it so far. Marts recommendation is great. Will look in our handy market here for these roofs. Rene -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VFB Mail group.

Re: [VFB] Dubbing dispensers
Another good idea.

Here is my shot at a better mousetrap: my favorite dubbing dispenser. It's sawn out of channel plates, which are polyacrylate plates used for transparent roofs over terraces and such. They are double walled plates with ribs dividing the plate into channels. The plate is 0.25 thick and the channels are 0,4 wide. Just saw the plate (they come in 40 x 40) to size (my dispensers are about 5 x 4) and voila. Each of those channels packs the same amount of dubbing as one of the compartments in the compartment boxes we all know. IMO the perfect box for traveling fly tiers.
