super floss legs

[tomcraw 0]

In Charlie Craven's "Tying Nymphs" he's calling for "Super Floss" for legs on a Pat's rubber legs. I'm trying to order materials and was wondering what a substitute for that would be at JStockard.

 

Would something like the Hareline micro legs be similar? I'm not sure how to tell what diameter this should be:

Tying in sizes 4-10 roughly.

bug legs being the cheapest price for the quantity, it would be my choice

It is a spandex material. I've used Spirit River Flex-Floss and the Fly tyers dungeon product. Stockard carries Hareline Life-Flex which is probably the same material.

thanks for the replies, I figured it had a bunch of names

Before there were "Pats rubber legs," there were girdle bugs. Same fly, but we used any rubber legs we had, and I still do. They work just as well. One of my favorites is to use orange or white rubber legs, and then use a black and brown marker to color them up.

I like the Montana Fly Company Speckled Sexi Floss. Same material as others have listed, except that it is already barred.
