albcorb 0 Report post Posted July 1, 2013 Not sure if there is any kits out there, but it only requires a few materials. I use either rabbit zonkers for the tail or 4-6 hackle feathers and a little marabou. Add some flash material and the rest is deer belly hair in your favorite colors. I prefer using gelspun thread in 210 denier. Hook is usually a stinger hook in sizes 4-3/0 or anything with a good gape. good luck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flytire 0 Report post Posted July 1, 2013 pick the fly you want to tie and buy those materials for example if you wanted to tie a "fruit cocktail" deer hair bass fly you would buy the materials in the given recipe click on photo to expand p.s. yes there are kits for tying bass flies. GOOGLE search for them Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BassBugn 0 Report post Posted July 7, 2013 Another place you might want to check is Chris Helm's Whitetailflytying shop. He might be able to help put together a kit for you. Bruce is right about it becoming a large habit. Steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LOL...I've called my Taxidermist before and said: "Hey Man...You got the Stuff" He's my Supplier of Free Deer Tails and tanned hides whenever I want them. I'm down to 4 tails out of 12 I got the last trip there and I know how to use a shop vac after a session with Deer Hair and Razor Blades Nice Frogs Bruce!!!

MIKE*A 0 Report post Posted July 10, 2013 Definitely call Chris helm as a couple of others have previously mentioned! If you don't have good deer hair, it can be very frustrating! Chris hand picks his and will set you up with everything you need.....I get all of my deer hair from him.....I ran into him at theBUFF show this past winter and stocked up......he had been sick and quit the show circuit for awhile.......
