EP Gamechange fiber

[Tony Ong]

Been playing around with some of this material on a couple of different flies the last couple of weeks. I was looking for some wing material that had some stiffness to prevent tail wrapping, but still supple enough to have movement when stripping the fly.
Dan at Flyworld brought a small range of colours of Enrico Puglisi Gamechange fibers in a couple of months ago, but I had always assumed that it was similar to the other EP fibers that he already stocked. On closer inspection, it is a stiffer material, and thicker in diameter.
It is similar to slinky fiber, but slightly straighter and so far, seems a little stiffer and not as prone to tail wrap. It's a great substitute for buck tail, and being synthetic, it would be great on toothy beasts. Most of the flies that I have tied are bait fish profile style. Would also lend itself well to synthetic clousers.
Angel hair flash mixes well with this material.
If you are looking for a different synthetic material, this one is well worth looking at. I've test cast them, and the flies swim well. If enough guys get behind this product, hopefully Dan will increase the colour range. Looking forward to fishing these flies.

Hi Tony, wow they look amazing!! will it be ok if I bring in a fly line that needs a welded loop? maybe be use it as a item at the next meeting?

[Adam]

They look good Tony. Have you tried or seen any flies tied with the Faux Bucktail from Fish Skull?

Bring the line along Dale. Will get it fixed for you.
Haven't used the faux bucktail yet Adam. I've had a look at it, but haven't really thought what flies to use it for other than the obvious clousers. Will probably grab some to experiment with down the track.

Looks good Tony.
If it comes in olive aswell then Gav will be all this stuff

I saw it and though squid amongst the more obvious uses.
