I humbly thank you for your service.
Nice fly.
I too am always looking for unique tying material for fly tying. I even have my wife looking.... ha ha.
It would be an interesting thread to see what unique things tiers use.
For bodies I have tried silver duct tape, craft foam, flip-flops, beer tabs shaped with woven silver braid over, embroidery floss, cat/dog hair,
and dubbing from rug yarn.
I have even cut open old bungee cords for rubber legs.
Contact Curt-RI TU Admin he would know.
Shoot him an e-mail.

LPO offers a one time discount the first time you place an order. I believe it was 10%.
I called them to place order so I knew I was getting the discount .
Hope this helps.
Ron try flea bay just checked.

Search Ultra Minnow Jig Heads.

Nice pattern saltydog.
I am thinking this would work really well for large brown trout and saltwater stripers.
I notice you use some really long hooks; what hook is this?
Fatman those are some outstanding jigs!
I have never used rabbit only deer hair.
The rabbit looks a little like marabou, and I bet it moves much the same?
