Mickalo,

For whatever reason, seal fur is difficult to come by and quite expensive when you do find it.

While 'real' seal is supposed to look amazing and have fish catching abilities almost on a par with Cree, it's just a semi translucent fur. The fish really aren't all that picky. Any of the dubbings out there that have some shine and are a bit translucent will do just as well. SLF, any of the antron based blends, etc.. The Semi Seal or Mohair Plus (same stuff) is Angora goat with shreads of flashabou in it. Nothing like 'real' seal (I think it's the best all around fish catching material ever created, though, but I may be a bit biased).
