Byron, I can add to q2 a bit:   Raphia is natural stuff, something like bast, from a certain tree. I had bought my lifetime support in a flower shop. They use it to secure plants in a garden.  You can make nice bodies from it, but it must be presoaked in water. The swiss straw is synthetic stuff, much thinner and more fragile than the natural. I use ths swiss straw for winging on diving (and other) caddis. Great also for wing cases on nymphs.   Rene Cologne,Germany   -----Urspr�ngliche Nachricht----- Von: Byron Newton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> An: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Datum: Montag, 25.

Is raphia (also spelled wraphia) the same thing? Thanks Byron
