OOOOOPS!!....its too late already, but I'll still inquire.

...Lookin for a bargain. Just poured some jigs, lookin to tie them...where can I find some inexpensive "tail"....whether its real or not...(synthetic is ok) doesn't matter to me....I can wiggle it right

....I was gonna save this thread for the winter doldrums...but I'm in a bind, and lookin for a quick fix!!!.....

...anyone out there got a quick solution for me? and maybe some tips on how they tie em' ???..I'm sure we all do them a little different...

....If I could have stayed longer at Slip's Plug party...I probably wouldn't have this dilema...but duty called, and I missed out on some shortcuts...

Bloo... Smokey and I used all our bucktails , right to the last one. We won't be getting any more regular bucktails for a while. We might get some black ones but expect to pay through the nose for them.

I don't know where you can get a bargain now. I heard that bucktails are scarce do to a smaller than usual deer kill in Canada this year? Most places I've seen are selling bucktails in the $3.50 to $4.50 range. Sometimes at the Worcester Show (already gone by) , Cote's Fly Shop sells them for $2.50.

Anyway , If we had some we'd sell you some but we are out.

I can't help you with a bargain but TimS sells bucktails. He sells both regular and "Saltwater". The Saltwater ones have been selected cause they have very long hair. I have bought them before and they are nice , not cheap though.

Noticed FW/BC had a box of bucktails at last nights MSBA How to Night, so I know she still has some. I'm sure she will make you a good deal on what you need, so I'd suggest you pm her.
