What is a fly rod-sized commercial lure? Does this mean you can't buy already made flys and you have to have custom tied flies or what?

What it means is you cant use a fly that would disqualify you from any of the fly fishing records.
Back in the day, we used to make fly rod spoons out of acryllic fake fingernails. Caught the heck out of the reds .Those are now against the rules, (preformed plastic) Any natural or synthetic fiber or feather is legal .flies can be hand tied or store bought.
Size is there so you cant tie a spook jr on the end of your line.
