Spirit River Lite Brite Dubbing
Add an intense, high-visibility reflective sheen to your subsurface fly patterns with premium Spirit River Lite Brite Dubbing, available at Casters Fly Shop. Widely considered one of the original and most versatile synthetic flash materials on the market, Lite Brite is made from finely shredded Mylar and textured Flashabou fibers. These long, fine tinsel strands reflect ambient light beautifully underwater, perfectly mimicking the iridescent coloration and trapped air bubbles of natural emerging insects and baitfish forage.
All-purpose synthetic flash and application options:
• Easy-handling synthetic texture: Features a coarse yet highly pliable fiber structure that spins smoothly onto waxed thread under rotational torque. It can be easily dubbed sparse for clean nymph thoraxes or brushed out with a dubbing brush to create high-volume, buggy silhouettes on streamers.
• Endless multi-pattern versatility: An essential synthetic component used for building flashy woolly bugger bodies, adding ribbing highlights to trout nymphs, spinning hotspots on competition pupae, and tying durable steelhead, salmon, and saltwater patterns.
• Blending compatibility: The long, wispy synthetic fibers blend flawlessly with natural furs (such as hare's ear or rabbit) to add a subtle micro-flash highlight to traditional buggy nymph bodies without changing their core behavior.
Consistent performance on the tying bench:
Every single package of Spirit River Lite Brite contains an abundance of loose, premium-cut tinsel fibers that stay vibrant without losing their flash over continuous fishing seasons. The non-absorbent synthetic chemistry ensures your flies shed water instantly on a single pick-up cast, protecting the tracking balance of your patterns. Pair this classic flash dubbing with our high-carbon hooks, spooled threads, and UV bench resins to stock your fly boxes with total confidence.
