Can I get in? How about a weighted black Bugger?
How about this design? I call it the Nuclear Bugger. I used synthetic marabou for the tail (real marabou would count as a feather, right?), and the hackle is purple flash Nuclear Emission Wing material from Polaris.

Wow!
I just came in from work and I find that the swap is filling right up!

You are all in the swap.
BTW Gigmaster, I've never heard of syntetic marabou. Is it a fly tying product or something you you discovered??? Real marabou is not allowed but synthetic marabou is just fine.
I'm looking forward to seeing all the flies.

I got to thinking about the swap, and the 'No Feathers' rule. You didn't say "no natural, or real feathers" You said "no feathers....period".
So my Nuclear Bugger doesn't qualify because, the marabou may not be real marabou, but it is still an artificial feather.
Here is my second attempt, using nothing but Black Chenille, Black Craft Fur, and Purple Craft Fur. I may add a gold or silver rib to the final version.
For lack of a better name, I am calling it the Wal-Mart Bugger, because that's usually where I get the fur.

Wal-Mart Bugger
Hook: Cabelas Model 40 sz. 6-10
Thread: Black Kevlar 3/0
Weight: .025 Lead-Free Roundwire
Tail: Black Craft Fur
Body: Black Med. Chenille
Hackle: Purple Craft Fur-dubbing loop style
Will this get me into the swap?
I messed up. I got the material off of EBay without really knowing what is was. Is is 'Imitation' marabou, not artificial. The products actual name is Chickabou. It is still a feather. Hence, I have changed my pattern to one that can pass the strictest conditions....nothing but chenille and craft fur.
This is going to be a great swap!
Gigmaster
Real cool!!!
I like the look of your fly. Very nice effect. What self respecting fish wouldn't be proud to be caught on it?

Ed,
I want in. This will be my first swap, and I would like to enter what I call the Rubber Man.

You and your "rubber man" are in.
Ed
OK. Here is the final version. When I was adding the purple craft fur, I added some sparse, chopped pearl Flashabou. This should be deadly.
