The tail of flatwings is the hallmark of this fly type because it moves seductively in the current. However, some patterns need to have a full (while being sparse) collar but to capture a fish's fusiform as well as to push water.
I like your eel punt. These are amazingly productive flies. I have come to tie many types of streamers based on the eel punt and really building up the palmered body. I will simultaneously palmer three very long and webby saddles for a fuller body to push water. Building up a large base around the shank helps make the palmered body become bigger.
