UV2 Spirit River Hemp Dubbing, better than home grown.

Spirit River’s unique UV2 dyed process over a medium fine hemp fiber makes for a dubbing that has a tremendous bugginess to it. As we all know Oregon grows some of the best… and now you can make some very special flies.

The first time they touched it they found the hemp was lumpy, coarse and basically unusable. The research paid off when they finally found a hemp base that was highly processed. It cost
more but dubbed on thread great. Spirit River then added a sweet blend of the UV2 Enhancer as they do on all their UV2 dubbing. And lo n behold they came up with a pretty easy to use dubbing. Once its brushed out is gets very buggy.

We have used a double dye process to give all our unique UV2 materials and flies the added UVF/UVR ultraviolet wave lengths. We all know UV Florescence which is so common on everything from street signs to bass lures. UV Reflectence is a spectrum of wave lengths humans can not perceive yet is extremely common in the animal and insect world. UVR allows mayflies to find mates, and bees to find flowers. Many male birds and bugs have a strong natural UVR signature.
