Items of note:
1. The tail is next to the tag. Usually when I tie in the tail is in front of the butt. But with the E-ZBody the tie in point it is difficult (at best) to secure the tail in front of the butt.
2. The photo does zero justice to the actual appearance of the fly. The body takes on a 3D appearance (hence the name.) when viewed in person. This makes many color variations possible when using E-ZBody. I have an idea for using orange (or copper) holographic tinsel under the same pearl braid on some of the new prawn dressing I have in mind. Or perhaps Hare'e Ice Rusty Orange as an underbody.
3. All colors of Gamakatsu T10-6H hooks can be purchased if you look for them. They are available in NS (gray -black), red, green and blue. They are available in sizes 2/0, 1/0, 1,2,4,6 and 8. I have sent them numerous emails to also make a 10 and 12 but they simply don't answer.
BTW, I picked the fly name based upon the latest rage in TV and movies for 3D effects. Like I said, you really should see this fly in person to see the depth of the body.
