Please?

Hi LadyFisher,
I think the 'EP' stands for (not sure about spelling) Enrico Puglisi. Maybe that helps(?)

It's used as a wing material. You can probably use it as a parachute wing or a spinner wing in fresh water. For the salt it's used for clousers and bait fish imitations. I'm using it on a crab pattern called a surfin merkin for surf fishing, but there are other crab patterns I've seen it used for. http://www.eefishent.com/surfin_merkin.htm

I use olive for a case on damsel nymphs
Does it float well when dressed?
They're just fish, right? Right?
Not sure of the chemical makeup; since it's touted as being hydrophobic (doesn't absorb water) I'd guess polypropylene. It's about 3 times more expensive than Congo Hair, which is pretty much the same thing.
Regards,
Scott
ps - Lew, it does float pretty well when dressed
As has already been mentioned, it is a synthetic material you can use for all sorts of things in all sorts of sizes. The Congo Hair I have used (essentially the same thing) has a crinkle in it almost like kiptail. Baitfish patterns are fun to tie with this stuff!
