Loon™ – Swax Dubbing Wax
Available in both Low Tack and High Tack formulas for precise dubbing control.
Loon™ Swax Dubbing Wax is designed to help fly tyers apply dubbing smoothly and efficiently while creating realistic fly bodies for dry flies, nymphs, and other trout patterns.
The Low Tack formula is ideal for smaller flies and patterns requiring subtle, sparse dubbing with minimal bulk and a more natural profile. The High Tack formula provides additional grip for applying larger amounts of dubbing and working with coarser materials or bigger fly patterns.
Both formulas apply easily, help improve dubbing control, and wash cleanly from your hands without leaving sticky residue behind.

Diane Alsop –
I’ve used the Low Tack formula for small dry flies and it gives a very natural look with minimal bulk. The wax applies smoothly and cleans off easily. Great for subtle patterns.
Jennifer Abraham –
Switched from a previous dubbing wax to the High Tack version for larger nymphs. It holds the dubbing well and doesn’t slip during application. Much more reliable than before.
Jonathan Mathis –
Works well for most of my patterns. The Low Tack is perfect for delicate dry flies, but I found the High Tack a bit too sticky when working with fine materials.
Amanda Ferguson –
No sticky residue after use. I can apply it quickly and get consistent results. A must-have for serious fly tyers.
Heather Davidson –
The wax dries quickly and doesn’t smear. I use it daily and haven’t had any issues with it sticking to my hands or tools.
