If you want a really deadly version of the Chomper, then tie it with a thinner ostrich herl body & use Glowbrite orange floss for the tying thread. Make the head larger & longer so that it's about a 1/3 of the body length on a #12 B175. Varnish the head well with clear S/H. You could well be surprised how killing that this version is, esp. on very bright days when fished in the surface as a point fly.

Hi AL,
Thinskin is a stretchy/rubbery material. The body stretch looks to be very similar to the Thinskin.
