Flymen Fish Skull Faux Bucktail

Flymen Fish-Skull Faux Bucktail

Tie flies of all types and sizes from Clousers to T-Bones with Fish-Skull Faux Bucktail. This is a tapered synthetic multi-use fly tying fiber designed to imitate typical natural bucktail.

Fish-Skull Faux Bucktail fibers have the same basic diameter, gentle crinkle, and taper as natural bucktail. In appearance, it looks almost identical and has the same distinctive bucktail action in the water. However, the fibers are not hollow (which helps your fly sink faster) and will not “flare” in the same way as regular bucktail while tying. This means you will need to tie with slightly different techniques to achieve the same effect.

Every Faux Bucktail fiber is premium 6” (152 mm) length, giving you more than twice the amount of usable fibers per tail and eliminating the headache of sorting and searching for ideal strands. Simply peel off the full length of your desired amount of fibers, trim to length, and tie them in.

• Trout flies: Beautiful tapered wrapped “quill” bodies, nymph wing cases, Mayfly tails and legs.
• Streamers: From tying typical Clouser Minnows or Deceivers right up to large, “bite-proof” Pike, Musky or Golden Dorado flies.
• Poppers: Tie simple and durable tails on foam poppers
• Bucktail Jigs: Tougher, longer lasting fresh and saltwater bucktail jigs.

Note: Faux Bucktail cuts easily, but like most other synthetic materials can be hard on your nice scissors. Use serrated heavy duty scissors designed for synthetics like the Dr. Slick Synthetic Fly Tying Scissors.
