Yeah that's DNA Fiber (with fishhair on the belly as well), I find it works better than natural hairs because it doesn't soak up water, and therefore it can sink WAY easier. In a previous prototype I used Icelandic sheep hair, but it held so much water that it took hours to sink (even with a pound of tungsten).
If you guys want, when I get tying I can make a SBS for this fly.
Big flies are so much to fish though. Because 90% you get bigger fish on them.
Drum take that big of flies!? That's awesome. I know they have a big yap, but an 8" leech.... Haha sweet..
