Why, oh why, does that not surprise me??
I met someone up the coast a few weeks back talking about the size of
his 'giant' flies. I pulled out my phone and brought up your website. He
could only say WTF!! He was a jolly (and surely inebriated Scotsman who
told me that he had so much fly tying gear taking up the house that his
wife said it was either the gear or her, so he took it out to the street
and dumped it for someone needy to put it to good use. Says he still
misses her sometimes. Not sure if he was joking or not! His second wife
is more into fishing than he is.
You need to do a giant garfish fly for a challenge.

Reuven, I did just that years ago. Wish I had a photo of it.
Tied a 14/0 (6” hook) scud and made the shell case out of 3/4” clear
tube split down one side and then tapered. Used 200 mono for the
overwrap to create the segments. Really came out good. I gave it to
Pacres. Told him to pull it out of his bag when they got to the ‘big
hole’ on the river and hand it to the client and say “Here... put this
on- there’s big’uns in here.”
Need to do another pink jelly-rope scud like that.

Judging by the size of some of your flies, DonO, you could probably
use a 3/4'' silicon tube.

VFBers,
I’m having trouble finding jelly rope in/clear/. Does anyone have any
spare to sell or know of where I can find some?
Thanks,
DonO
