I know where to get it - but WHAT exactly is it?
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!
The Green Hornet strikes again!!!
Considering the cost difference and similarity to Congo Hair by the Mad Scientist the decision is a no brainer.
