    Default Light Blue Kip Tail


    Does anyone know where I can get light blue kip tail? I can find dark blue, but no light.

    Thumbs up

    belcats, I googled up "light blue calf tail for sale"and came across flyfishusa. com. site I think the color you are looking for might be the floresant blue. That is the only light blue I have found so far and use it lots for gill jigs.. I hope this helps a little Illinoisgiller

    I tried to find it and only found one in Canada which I didn't want to get into. The guy that was furnishing kip tails in Lt. Blue got burned. The guy he was buying from disappeared suddenly in South America (possible either kidnapped or dead). He had paid for the 12,000 tails and never got them.

    I finally just gave up and used some different hair so it may be possible things are different now, but it has not been that long ago. Every place I found it was buying from the same guy that didn't get his kip tails so they were all out.

    Good luck,

    try Barlow's for kiptails.Look at stock number 710505,color #507. If you want something lighter color I can probably dye one up for you.

    Barlow's 507 was darker than I was looking for I believe. Actually I have ordered FL Blue before and that picture looks lighter than what I got.

    If it looks like the picture at barlow's I think it will work. Thanks, I thought I had looked there before, but must not have.

    Be sure to ask them if that color looks like that as I have some and it is much darker.

    I have looked at this site before, but never bought anything from them. Have you actually seen their Lt. Blue?

    Like I said I finally gave up and just bought a fox tail in almost LT Blue, LOL!

    I have never bought any of the tails and you really don't know what the color would look like unless you see it in person.
