Hi Jerry !

As in Curly-Tailed grubs ?? I would think that Cabelas would have the widest selection .

Thanks David, but I want just the tails. I've run out of my supply and can't remember where I got them. There a popular known bass fly that I can't remember the name of,
maybe something "twister fly or something".

Hey Jerry,

Wapsi makes them, some fly shops carry them, most don't. I do remember it is a Wapsi product, called fly tails or curly tails, something like that. Kiene's might have them, give em a call.

I tried them, in pearl, chartreuse, and other colors. I remember the part that ties to the hook is flat and kinda wide. I had to tie is along the side of the hook shank so it would ride correctly out the back.

Good luck,
Bob

Thanks all,
The answer was to search for "Fly Tails" not "flip tails" or "twister tails". Kiene's is all out of these. Had to order from Cabela's.

Jerry,

What color were you looking for? I have them in 5 different colors and 2 different sizes.
I use them on my surf fly's and also some of my bass flies.
