I've fished with Fuzzle flies ever since Morsie introduced them to me.
Just recently I started on an idea to use the fuzzle technique for snapper flies. The results have been outstanding to date...
 
Using the old standard of Chartruese and White and ripping off more than a bit of the Interceptors outstanding qualities the Fuzzlator was born.
 
While only new, and maybe it's just that the fishing is hot but it is far and away the most success snapper fly I have so far used...

I tie them with both depending on where I'm fishing. Bead Chain for in the Harbor and Lead for outside.

You make it by dubbing onto chenille...
 
In the case above I used Chartreuse Masterbrite onto tan ultra chenille... nice colour combo...
 
http://www.flyfishingdvddownloads.com/html/tyingFB.html this points to a video Morsie and Muzz Wilson have done on tying the fly...
 
Morsie invented the method and Muzz has tied the variants... they are deadly.
 
(Interesting what my spell checker wants to make Masterbrite intoLOL.)
