Faux Bucktail

Description

Tie flies of all types and sizes from nymphs to Clousers with Scottie Faux Bucktail, a tapered synthetic multi-use fly tying fiber designed to imitate typical premium-length natural bucktail.

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 fly or lure 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.

The fibers can be used in a wide range of fly or lure types.

• Beautiful tapered wrapped “quill” bodies, nymph wing cases, Mayfly tails and legs.
• Streamers: From tying typical Clouser Minnows or Deceivers.
• Poppers: Tie simple and durable tails on foam poppers.
• Bucktail Jigs: Tougher, longer lasting fresh and saltwater bucktail jigs.
