This is what I recognize as the "original" game changer.

Check this variation. James (InTheRiffle) gives an explanation why.

Also, you need to compress a lot of material into the body to get a really
good swimming action.

LOL They never do with me. But after a few, they start to look more like their supposed to.

I tend to think of the Game Changer as a concept more than a specific fly recipe. It can be tied with so many different materials, but the hardware is more or less the same. 1-2 hooks and several articulated shanks. I like the Body Wrap material that has a cloth edge on each side, so you can cut it down the middle into two pieces. I have also tied them with an Ice Dub streamer brush and different feathers. A mini feather Game Changer tied out of India hen back has caught me a lot of fish.

Would you have a photo of the mini feather GC with India hen back?

Here's mine, I use the Body Wrap product. The tail is the same material with clearflex on it. 10mm eyes

 

They are a pain to tie in my opinion, but they have an unbelievable action and are extremely durable
