Thanks for the instructions; it is a little more complicated than it looks. I'll have to keep my eye open for those pink condoms, red ones too.
If the line ain't tight, ya ain't doin it right
Unless you can find these in your local fly shop - here's another source

Loren's tutorials are the best I have seen yet. The anecdotes are a great way to begin the instructions. The pictures are great as well. I look forward to new ones constantly.
Eddie had some fun looking that one up....
I have seen people using pink latex gloves (painters), I will have to see where they get them. It might not be as easy to cut the material in lengths required but you can probably buy them in bulk. I use regular cream colored latex gloves for a grub pattern and it seems to hold up real well. I will post a source if I find the pink ones.
You can buy a hundred for 23 bucks with no shipping; that's a lot of flies. They also sell larger bulk packs if you think you might be tying several hundred flies.
From the instructions it appears that you will need thinner latex than you'll find in a glove.
