No sir, it’s just finesse body chenille. But I really appreciate the compliment just the same!

Yes they do. Their called Mink Zonkers. Size, Micro (thinner strip) or regular.
Variety of colors. Can be hard to find sometimes as retailers don't seem to stock them as much as rabbit.
I've one Plano 3200 box filled with them of various size streamers I've tied.
I've been fishing them more than any other fly for years.
That said, I've tied a couple rabbit zonkers like I do the mink and they look pretty good in the water too.
Bored today on a rainy, dank Friday so I hit the vice for a while...
Ray's Fly. Simple and deadly.

Old-school epoxy Surf Candy. These things are fairly bullet proof, even with bluefish and barracuda it takes a while to destroy.

Lucky Strike. Simple and a good prospecting pattern. I use it a lot as a teaser when chucking plugs in the surf.

Here's an @mro inspired version.

Something I've been trying to figure out. I'll see if it works in the spring. Hopefully it's not just a gimmick.

Body is ep fiber. Stacked and trimmed on the top side of the hook. Helps the fly turn over and sink hook point up really well.

Was asked to do some GT flies for a guy. Working on a pattern for him to keep it light. This is only a 3/0 that i am testing on snook to see how it swim then will work on making it in a 6/0.

Those eyes appear to be on a plastic strip, is that how they come? Or did you make that? Curious on the technique ….

Those are clear tabs I get from the UK. They are a clear place you tie in then glue your eyes too. The benefit is not having the eyes glued into the fibers to mess with the movement or bulk of the head to push more water.
