Deon,
Shellback is the common name for a tranlucent, rubbery material, which is used for shells and similar parts of nymphs and shrimps. It comes in sheets as well as in narrow strips and is often adhesive on the backside. You wind it as shown on this fly or tie it in as a shell on the back of other patterns, typically securing it with the rib.It normally stretches quite a bit.
It is usually widely available in fly shops, but in a pinch you can replace it with strips cut from heavy duty plastic bags.
