Looking for Phelps Floaters

[wetsleeves]

I realize this may be a tough question, seeing as how everything i can find on web related searches refers to the phelps floaters as being pretty much extinct. I figured I'd ask anyway.

Im wondering if anyone knows where or how to find any?

Im looking for size 2 or 4 in black and/or orange/red.

Northland bought them out several years ago. They never changed them except of the mane. Any good tackle stores sell them

[wetsleeves]

does northland offer the black?

I looked around but didnt see them.

Guess i could use a sharpie to color one, worry about scent though...

Matt Phelps in Bemidji, Minnesota still runs Phelps tackle. You could probably get what you need from him. He took over the business after his father, Denny, passed away a few years ago. Do a search here on this site and his phone number should come up. This same subject was talked about before on here. Matt is friend of mine and I amsure he would help you out if he can. I found his cell phone number 218 766 3818. Give him a call. Rob

I miss the black ones too. I have resorted to coloring the blue/white ones with a black sharpie. Ugly, but they work.
