Body Materials
was browsing through some materials and came across these items, "Twitch" and "Jelly Rope" which look pretty nice. I haven't heard of them before and was wondering how often they're used or if any one had used these materials and how well they work?
Thx's

Twitch is a small diameter lace material which can be stretched really thin. Some blend it with dubbing to get a buggy fly with alot of movement. I use twitch on the very small midges for the body then overcoat with zap-a-gap. Jelly cord is alot like larva lace or midge tubing. Instead of being hollow it is solid. It also stretches very well. Jelly cord is used primarily for bodies on nymphs. It comes in 3 sizes (I think) and several colors.
thanks for the info. it is really amazing how many different types of tying materials are out there
