Thank you guys! I have bought kip tail from a lot of places over the last 12-14 years, but my best ones usually have been from Hareline. However all suppliers have tails, but not all created equal! So probably need to order by phone and ask them to make sure it’s ones with longer hair, some have too short hair!
Squirrel tail hair is nice to tie with and is always long enough, but both work in same kind of jig. Kip tails are more popular I believe and many just use it all the time! One of the reasons I tied these or what peaked my interest again was a old guy that lives near me said his favorite jig of all was a Black and Yellow kip tail jig. He gave me one so I tied a few for him, two with kip tail and one with Fox. I will show the fox soon.

i also have collected a whole tote full of kip tails over time so I have more than I will ever use!
