I know you make custom flies for at least part of your living, why do you do it?

Custom flies are a different matter. Someone wants a particular combination of colors or materials or size or hook style etc. There are many patterns you can't find in flyshops.
But rubbers are different IMO. Take a look in a Bass Pro or Cabelas catalog. There are zillions of styles, colors, sizes and shapes. And they're relatively cheap. Between Bass Assassin, FinS, Mr. Twister, Berkley, etc etc etc you should be able to find something you like and works.

not busting on you Patrick. If you want to invest the cost of making molds and raw rubber, scent etc, go for it! But I just don't think it's very efficient.
