Hareline Dubbin 1oz Marabou Blood Quills — Premium Fly Tying Wing Material

Overview

Hareline Dubbin Blood Quills deliver refined marabou for a wide range of fly-tying applications. The fiber set features a slender center shaft that helps windings stay controlled and clean, enabling you to shape lifelike bodies and tapered profiles with confidence. The vanes’ tips align evenly, making this material notably easy to work with when you’re building wings, tails, or body dress.

With a large range of use, these quills are valued for their versatility. The fibers feel soft yet responsive, allowing subtle movement in the water and a natural, buoyant lift in the air. Sparse barbules in select strands give you the option to dial density for fine, precise dress on delicate patterns. Hareline Marabou is widely regarded for quality, and Blood Quills carry that reputation into a reliable tying experience.
