Fox: From what I've read, importation is legal if the neck was heat treated to 248 degrees (120 Celsius) for 30 minutes and clean, dry and free of blood, urine and manure. Before I would order, I would ask for documentation demonstrating that importation into the US is legal. I've noted that much of the jungle **** on ppt he web comes to the US via Canada. Sounds fishy to me.
Youghness: Jungle **** nails have been used for many decades as decoration on salmon flies and to imitate eyes when tied on the flanks of streamers such as the Hornburg. My intended use is as the shell back of a very small leaf hopper fly called a jassid (size 18-22 with body of thread, a hackle of the same color as the body and clipped on the bottom and a lacquered jungle **** nail tied flat on top.) Favorite color is black, but ginger and tan also work well for me. It is and old school Cumberland Valley pattern that deserves a spot in every fly box.
