    I think the legs are made out of paint brush bristles.... am I right? Nice fly. I am curious about the abdomen, what is it made out of?

    The abdomen looks like beads {root beer}....I only butt in because I wonder what he coated them with....epoxy?

    Curious now as to how those legs hold up after few strikes? Do they bend or break off...

    Actually those flies are not meant to fish hehehe they are just for display, the same pattern that I use for fishing has rubber legs.
