Name of these flys - Sharknado - 08-01-2020

Was gifted these flies a few years ago and they sat unused since. After using boobie flies this week I remembered these foam body flies that were sitting unused in my box. Any idea what these are and how to fish them?

Does work on trout and in a pinch as a salt water fly. Fish aren't going to care what you call it or what it was supposed to be
, . Let us know how it works.

Yup, thought the same thing... Popcorn Beetles w/ marabou tails (no tails on the original pattern).
