Just ordered some from Sam. What is the rest of the DB pattern that incorporates this ie what body material, head thread and rib ?

Also, any other good patterns in which I can use the PBJ ?

Here are a few flies that use Saracens picric peacock eyes as bodys, and picric blue jay as throat hackle, plus a gloBrite no4. variant....these are very much tied as per Campbell Baird's that I like so much!
