Hey Guy's

The stuff we use over here is called silli skin, it comes already coated in mother of pearl, silver or whatever you want.

The inside bit - is sticky and the outer bit is smooth - a bit like pulling a sticker of the base sheet, if you know what I mean.

I know its dam expensive (for what you get) but the flies do work in certain conditions. I don't think that it will be the panacea to all your fishing situations - however, it is a handy fly to have in your arsenal. I will not go after Tarpon without the floating version.

All the best
Mike

thanks mike
the stuff we got is sticky on both sides, so you can understand it's a bit of a pain. managed to get some stuff from my wifes art supplies and seems to work. will throw a line later for bass to see how it goes.
cheers

Im about to order a whole bunch of this stuff (silli skin) from AA Outfitters. How strong is it? Is it going to get mauled by the first fish that takes a swipe at it or will it last a few fish??
