I've never seen a nymph like this before:

I really want to tie some of these, just wondering if anyone knows the name of this nymph or the "style" its tied in. I would also love to get the recipe for this and maybe a materials list. I noticed the green dubbing of course, but the mid section looks like rubber but not sure what type and that looks like goose biots on the sides. But I need a little more help. Thanks!!

Since they are called "Slime Flexi Nymphs " on the ebay page, I'll go with this recipe

 

Hook: Hayabusa 387

Tails: chartreuse span flex

Body: black span flex

Rib: charteuse span flex

Wing buds: orange biots

Thorax: green dubbing

Legs: charteuse span flex

 

It is also stated on the ebay page

 

"These are tied with proper Spanflex and not crappy flexi floss which splits & curls and are tied on Hayabusa 387 Heavyweight Grub hooks for a good curved profile. "

Spanflex is made by Wapsi, another name for it is flexi-floss.

The flies are tied by Ian Christie. www.flybox.co.uk.

 

Waspi spanflex is the best flexi floss to use, Pintsize is dead right and as flytire said the other materials split and badly curl, not so much a problem for these flies but for others which require straight legs this material can cause issues, best to stick with the waspi material.
