Everything these days has "rubber" legs on it, from small dry flies to large bass bugs. FTD has a great leg material NOT made from rubber. Rubber has a tendency to maintain a memory that no matter what, stays. Rubber also is limited in color ranges and if you want to dye it yourself, it can be difficult to get good colors.

Rubber will break down quickly and become very brittle. You have seen bins in fly shops with flies with rubber legs that have fallen off. Heat dries out rubber quickly and you don't want to lose your legs!
