Hi Don; Is it this material from Spirit River: http://www.madriveroutfitters.com/pc-558-304-jelly-rope.aspx ?? If so, I think strech magic in 0.5mm clear would be very similar and available at most craft stores. http://www.jewelrysupply.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=395_415&products_id=14437 Wayne

And mine is not rose colored. It has to be the clear one to get the clear transparent color. It's also located here: http://stores.ebay.co.uk/LETERAS__W0QQ_fsubZ690002015 scroll down, a bunch of colors available, but no clear. I remember when the fly shop got it in a long time ago. It was a craft-store item, and came in clear, clear with multi-color glitter, and clear with gold glitter. I still have portions of all of them. The owner got them in skeins and put them on cards 4' at a time. Didn't sell enough, so dropped the line. Whoever has the rights now (if that is the case- maker on websites) did up the colors shown, then I guess 'cratered', since the stuff is on ebay (my guess). They sell it as 'ribbing-rope' to segment caddis flies. I always thought it was too big to segment small flies, as was swannundaze, to rib anything except large stoneflies. Larva-Lace reduced the size of D-rib and sold a lot of it in clear and colored versions. The clear jelly-rope (speghetti rope when we first saw it) may be available in craft stores somewhere. It is the best in my opinion because it is very soft and 2# or 4# mono, which I rope with anyway, makes well-defined segments, and becomes gin-clear, with the ribs disappearing and the undercolors showing through. It's fairly tough, but I doubt a fly will survive agressive fish teeth. But save the hook and bead, razor off the hook and tie a new one on in less than a minute. I have a box of old Swannundaze with a bunch of Larva-lace. I'll try my old styles of juice-bugs using these materials to show you the difference betwen that and a fly tied with a jelly-rope top-case only, or a top/bottom only case, instead of ribbed. If anyone can find clear Jelly-rope and there's enough interest, we should do a material-swap and then a fly swap.
