Hareline Dubbin FlyLipps - Fishing Hook Set (Pack of 10)

Overview

Hareline Dubbin FlyLipps add a new dimension to your favorite patterns by integrating a small lip that subtly redirects water flow. This change can trigger a fly to rise, dive, or carve side-to-side as you retrieve, producing a dramatic and controllable action. The result is a versatile presentation that can complement both surface and near-surface fishing, helping you explore different strike angles without changing your basic rig.

What to expect from the action

The lip provides a distinctive movement profile: a visible, lively motion that remains responsive to your line and stop-and-go retrieves. The effect is pronounced enough to draw attention while staying manageable under a variety of water conditions. In practical terms, you may notice a topwater presence one minute and a more sub-surface tease the next, simply by adjusting speed and depth of the pull.

Rigging and setup

• Tie FlyLipps into your chosen pattern using a loop knot at the tippet for a clean, fluid connection.
• To minimize line twists and preserve action, pair the setup with a small (#10) barrel swivel between the tippet and the leader.
• Lipped flies offer ample action; slower retrieves can be effective—experiment to find what suits your water and targets.
• Vary action by trimming the lip or adjusting tie length; aim for symmetrical trimming to balance the lure.

Retrieval and presentation tips

• Many species strike topwater or just below the surface. After a few quick pops, allow the fly to sink briefly and then strip, swimming it just under the surface.
• Experiment with different retrieve speeds, pause lengths, and depths to discover what triggers bites in your location.

Why choose FlyLipps

This lipped fly concept complements standard patterns by introducing a dynamic water-moving action that anglers can feel and see. It works with common gear and knots and invites you to experiment with retrieves and depths. While results vary with water, light, and fish, FlyLipps offer a tangible way to diversify your presentation and explore new bite opportunities without changing your core setup.
