The manufacturer of artificial flies is by definition a person to the endless search for alternative materials to "dress up" their man, and I would not be outdone.
I remember when I was searching for a material similar to the "eraser" that was used to create the characteristic back the Czech Nymphs. It was 1996 when, if I remember correctly, the Czechoslovak National won the world championships in Wales, revealing secrets of their dressing and their nymphs.
I made many attempts to list that I am not given the poor results, until one day reading an article published in Fly Fisherman magazine, where it was advertised Body Stretch Siman, I had an idea: why not use a strip obtained from a latex glove?

Immediately I went to the nearest supermarket to buy a box of disposable latex gloves, but while rummaging shelves in the ... I saw a box of vinyl gloves for hobbies ...
was love at first sight! was the material I was looking for: relatively elastic, transparent, thickness!
since built all my nymphs Czechoslovak using a strip width of about 4-5 mm, cut from a vinyl glove.
The glove comes with a shiny side and a part opaque part (internally), the strip must be mounted so that the opaque part is in contact with the dubbing and hence the glossy will be that visible.
colors the mat with permanent markers you can get stretch the body in various colors with effects very realistic imitations. Using the vinyl strip
also create pockets for wing but I have to say vinyl gloves appear to be specially designed to build Czech Nymphs !!!.... so I wonder: is not that the Body of Strech Hendz is the same material that is used to create vinyl gloves?
