C&F Rotary Twister Plus

High-speed dubbing twister with built-in large ball bearings.

A tying tool for professional use that dramatically improves the efficiency of the time-consuming dubbing loop method.
Multiple materials can be twisted simultaneously by using the center core clip.
Twisted material can be easily wound around the hook by rotating a rotary vise such as the CFT-9000.

● Please use it to twist the material sandwiched between dubbing loops.
●Twisting too much while applying tension to the thread may cause the thread to break.
● If you turn the thread horizontally at the base of the dubbing loop, the material will not fall off when the dubbing loop is closed.
●Be careful not to apply too much tension when closing the dubbing loop as it may damage the hook.

Q: What are dubbing tools used for in fly tying?
A: Dubbing tools are used to apply and manipulate dubbing—fine fibers that form a fly’s body—around your thread or wire. They help tiers create realistic, tapered, and durable bodies for nymphs, dries, and streamers.

Q: What kinds of dubbing tools are there?
A: The main types are dubbing twisters (spinners) for creating dubbing loops, dubbing brushes for blending or brushing out fibers, and dubbing needles (bodkins) for teasing and picking fibers to improve the fly’s texture.

Q: What is a dubbing loop and why use one?
A: A dubbing loop is a small loop of thread that traps dubbing fibers, which are then twisted and wrapped around the hook. It’s perfect for creating buggy, segmented, or durable fly bodies with natural or synthetic materials.

Q: Which dubbing tools are best for beginners?
A: Beginners should start with a simple dubbing spinner and a bodkin. These basic tools make it easy to add dubbing evenly and achieve professional results without complicated equipment.

Q: What materials can be used for dubbing?
A: Dubbing can be made from natural furs like rabbit, muskrat, or seal—or from synthetic fibers that mimic them. Dubbing tools work with both types to create everything from slim dry-fly bodies to shaggy nymph profiles.

Q: Are there differences between dubbing twisters?
A: Yes. Some have rotating handles for consistent tension, while others use spring or clip systems for quick material changes. Premium options from Stonfo, Loon Outdoors, and Renzetti offer smooth bearings and ergonomic grips.

Q: Why does Drift Outfitters carry dubbing tools?
A: Because dubbing is one of the most important techniques in fly tying, and the right tools make all the difference. Our curated selection includes tools that deliver precision, durability, and control for every tier.
