Description From the Flymen Company of the USA comes this brilliant idea – Fish-Skull Faux Bucktail. Tie flies of all types and sizes from nymphs to Clousers to T-Bones with this tapered, synthetic multi-use fly tying fibre, designed to imitate typical premium-length natural bucktail. Fish-Skull Faux Bucktail fibres 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 fibres 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 fibre is premium 6″ (152 mm) length, giving you more than twice the amount of usable fibres 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. The fibres can be used in a wide range of fly or lure types. 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. Musky Bucktail Lures or dressed trebles. Please Note: Faux Bucktail cuts easily, but like most other synthetic materials can be hard on your best scissors. Use serrated heavy duty scissors designed for synthetics (or an old pair you don’t mind abusing).
