Any of you use any Fox Tails

I bought my first Fox tails and came in today. I have used Arctic Fox fur and have that, but never had any Fox tails. Got Lt. Blue, Chart, Fl Yellow & White. Boy these are really nice and I will enjoy using some of this for jigs and flies.

So any of you have any of these? If so what do you think of it? Also these are really full and thick and about 14"-15" long.

Guess I am going to make some Fox tail Road Runners too.

I use red fox and also grey fox. The red fox tail is especially soft and does a really great job undulating underwater. They grey fox has more of an action similar to a squirrel tail.

I have a Hat made from Red Fox and one made from a Silver Fox that I am going to use tying. Boy that Silver Fox is a beauty. Have not made anything with it yet, but did make a few jig with the red Fox.

These dyed tails look awesome!

I tie some with gray fox since we trap them. Have quite a few complete hides in the other room.

Got Artic fox but not gray or red. The only thing red I have is some body hair (I use a rake for the underfur) for tying hendrickson dry flies.

Havent used fox tails for jigs but have used them for flies. Let us know how they work out.
