Very nice fly, but doesn't the rubber perish quite fast?
In my experience I find elastic bands to perish quite quickly - even faster if they are stretched. I have a couple on my net handle into which I tuck the net so that it doesn't hang loose. They need replacing quite often.
I guess if you tie it and fish it for a season it should be fine, but I don't know if it will store for too long.
