I've bought several mounted birds and animals over the years and stripped them clean. I've taken apart zip lock bags and used the locking stripps as ribbing.

Before collapse of the Communism the Central/East European fly fishers had to be very inventive, as there was very little supply of fly tying materials available. Condoms were regularily used for back cover of Czech/Polish nymphs :thumbsup:

I've been using latex condoms to tie grubs for smallmouth bass... thinking of using them for shrimp bodies on bonefish flies
