Hareline Ice Dub 289 UV Pink – Sparkling Dubbing for Fly Tying Patterns

Sparkle-forward dubbing for vibrant fly patterns

Hareline Ice Dub 289 UV Pink is a synthetic dubbing designed to add a touch of shimmer to your fly tying patterns. The UV-reactive pink shade catches light from multiple angles, delivering a subtle pearlescent glow that can read as pink, lavender, or almost clear depending on the viewing angle. This level of sparkle is ideal when you want the body or accents to stand out without adding heavy bulk to the pattern.

Because this is a dubbing, you get a lightweight body with a hint of sparkle rather than a bulky finish. It behaves well under wrapping and can be twisted into a fine noodle for precise body work. The fibers hold their shape as you wrap and rework a pattern, making it a reliable choice for regular tying sessions where consistency matters.

Key benefits at a glance

• Sparkle-forward color for eye-catching patterns with the Ice Dub line, specifically the UV Pink shade.
• Color may vary slightly from the product image due to dye lots and lighting conditions.
• Designed for patterns that want to emphasize sparkle without adding heavy weight or bulk.

Practical use ideas

• Body or rib accents: Build a fine dubbing noodle to create a shimmering body or highlight delicate segments.
• Pattern versatility: Combine with natural fibers or other dubbings to enhance contrast under sun or lamp light.
• Application tips: Use light wraps and keep fibers aligned for clean, even wraps.

Real-world note: In daylight or bright LEDs, the UV Pink fibers throw a crisp sparkle that can attract attention without overpowering other elements of the pattern. The color can appear more pink or more pearlescent depending on the viewing angle and lighting conditions, giving you flexible styling options on the water.

Materials and handling

Ice Dub fibers are fine and colorfast, designed to read as a vivid accent without adding unnecessary bulk. The texture supports smooth wraps and a tapered finish when tied with standard thread gauges. For best results, work with a light touch to achieve a clean, disciplined profile.

Care and storage

Keep the packaging sealed and away from direct sunlight to preserve color and texture over time. Store with the lid closed to minimize dust and keep the dubbing fibers neat for the next tying session.
