Maybe it's 'cos I'm a Scot.........
Fruit-net buzzer
Always on the lookout for something new (and cheap) to try, noticed when I got the shopping home the other day that those little nets the oranges and lemons come in unravel nicely to give tinsel-wisth strips of plastic in several colours, so I tied some buzzers with red, white, black and yellow pieces of this stuff. Makes a lovely, translucent, slim body, but needs a coat of varnish before use or the trout's teeth play hob with them and they don't seem to work with multiple trailing ends........

A very succesful pattern can be tied using the anti static bags from printed circuit boards - cut the material into thin strips and use as the body material, rib with very fine silver wire/tinsel. Makes for a dark smokey grey almost translucient buzzer. One bag should last a lifetime and some!

Good idea cravencast, but probably better placed in the Fly Tying section, rather than Fly Tying - Step By Step
