Use a sharp dubbing needle to split the thread. This will help to create a clean and even split.
Be careful not to over-split the thread. This can make the dubbing body look unnatural.
Use a small amount of dubbing at a time. This will help to prevent the dubbing from becoming too bulky.
Work the dubbing evenly around the hook shank. This will help to create a smooth and consistent dubbing body.
