Big Easy Dub – Finatics Fly Company
A New Orleans-style blend made for the flats.
Big Easy Dub is a specialty-crafted dubbing blend built for tying shrimp, crab, and buggy baitfish patterns that hold their shape, move naturally, and shine in the salt. Developed with a fine balance of natural tones, flash fibers, and leggy texture, it’s perfect for bonefish, permit, redfish, and sheepshead flies — especially when subtle realism is key.
Each color is inspired by the tones of Gulf flats, marshes, and Southern Louisiana estuaries — from soft pinks and tans to mottled olives and muddy browns. Whether you're dubbing shrimp bodies, building crustacean heads, or adding belly bulk to crab flies, Big Easy Dub brings just the right amount of life.
