I am looking for the RED thing on the upper fly. It is tapered. Fatter at
one end than the other. It is a molded plastic thing.

It seems that the beads etc on these flies are mainly being used as
"spacers". You can simply use another piece of tube, or any other beads
for this. Just a little tip, if you can get them "mother-of-pearl" or
similar "holographic" beads are often very effective on such things.

You can find practically any type of bead on the net. Here just a couple
of examples;
