Lefty's Deceiver - Best saltwater fly pattern?

This is a great fly for saltwater applications, but also can be used for larger freshwater fish like bass, salmon, or pike.  While they aren't the most easy to tie, they aren't difficult either, and they really do catch fish.  They move so nicely in the water.  

 
Hook:  Gamakatsu SS15 hook size 1/0, but any long shank saltwater hook will work.  
 
Tail:  White saddle hackle
 
Thread:  Danville 210 waxed in blue
 
Body:  Pearl braid, or silver tinsel
 
Wings:  White and blue buck tail
 
Gill:  Red calf tail, or red crystal flash
 
eyes:  Stick on eyes, preferably flat, but I used 3D eyes which work as well.
 
Epoxy:  Solarez "Bone dry" UV curing resin.
