I got black ones from Gander Mountain a few years back and I believe they have other colors too.

Might check at a fly tying shop. You should be able to find all sorts of colors and sizes. We use them to tie, among things, spiders.

Bill is right. Go to a good tackle shop that specializes in lure components,especially Bass lures like Deadpool suggested.They have a huge selection of colors and they are very cheap compared to what you pay for one pair of spider legs.

www.jannsnetcraft.com, (http://www.jannsnetcraft.com,)  buy the roundrubber skirt material. You can buy it by the ounce. One ounce is a piece 1 inch wide and about 4 feet long. They even have a sampler pack, you get one foot of all 9 colors for $3.29
