Veniard Whole Large Bucktail is high-quality white-tailed deer hair in whole tails. Bucktail can be used in salmon flies, tube flies, trout streamers, pike flies and saltwater flies. Bucktail absorbs only small amounts of water and keeps even big flies easy to cast.
Bucktail is one of the most used materials in fly tying, but it is also one of the most underrated. Many think that bucktail is stiff hair that is lifeless in the current and makes it hard to tie good-looking flies. In reality, it is quite the opposite. Once wet, the hair becomes very lively while still keeping its shape. You do not need to use a lot of hair, so the fly stays slim and translucent and fishes well. Only in recent years has bucktail again become appreciated in all kinds of fly tying because of its good properties.
If you want a specific type of bucktail (long, curly, soft, stiff), please mention it in the message field of your order or tell us what kind of flies you intend to use the material for. We will try to select the bucktails that best meet your needs.
