:smt009 Oh No, RodBow, I don't have a fly THAT BIG!!! My fly vice only holds those little bitty fly hooks...them big tuna's need a humongous size hook - I'de need to buy a whole new line of equipment from the rod on down. Why, a fella would have to use the whole bird to get the feathers to make a fly that huge! SHAZAM! :roll:
