Jimi, Reuven, It is a great wool-head substitute, can be rope-dubbed perfectly, beautiful 'fuzz' effect. Did some nymphs, and now working on sculpin-heads. Great color, w/markered dark-mottled on top with the gold bottom- just like the original. Would work for most wool-had flies and muddlers.
Reuven- please send more, along witn EP, of course. Got any wombat?
