Hareline Dubbin UTC Ultra Wire Brassie Amber – Non-Tarnishing Copper Wire for Ribbing & Bodies

Overview

Hareline Dubbin UTC Ultra Wire Brassie Amber brings a reliable, non-tarnishing copper wire to your fly-tying toolkit. The amber hue adds a warm, subtle glow to patterns while maintaining a clean, consistent finish over time. This versatile wire is designed for ribbing, adding weight, flash, and sturdier wire bodies, and it also pairs well with dubbing brushes for broader applications.

Why it works for your flies

In fly tying, small details matter. This wire’s non-tarnishing copper resists oxidation, helping your patterns stay consistent through seasons. The added weight helps create balanced silhouettes, especially on tapered bodies where control of profile matters. The inherent flash catches light in moving water, helping your patterns attract attention without overpowering other materials. Built to serve as ribbing and body material, it can anchor threads and fibers securely while maintaining flexibility for delicate wraps. The construction quality from Hareline Dubbin supports reliable performance project after project.
