Maine Bucktail
Maine Bucktail
Couldn't load pickup availability
This is premier, locally sourced, bucktail from Maine deer. You do not find this at any-old fly shop. We strongly believe this is the best bucktail in the world for fly tying, especially for big game/saltwater patterns.
- Grade A - Full tails with fibers approximately 5+" in length. Fuller tails may have shorter fibers while smaller tails may contain longer fibers. Great for hollow tie techniques!
- Grade AAA - Large tails with fibers at the 6"+ mark. These are the highest quality bucktails available for big game/saltwater fly tying
- Standard - Either slightly shorter fibers or smaller tails with less fibers compared to the Grade A. Yet, they retain the highest quality fibers similar to the Grade A.
- "Bambi" - These are tails with extra crinkly hair. Highly sought after by those tying flies with full/bulky collars + heads. The fibers on these tails create the size/profile necessary for larger patterns.
These come in white/natural. If you are looking for dyed Maine bucktails - you can see those HERE
Or we have Hareline dyed Bucktail HERE or HERE.
If you are looking for a specific tail with wavier, thinner, longer, or shorter hairs, please let us know in the "cart notes" and we will try and accommodate you as best we can!
Maine Bucktail orders are final and non-returnable/refundable. We will try to pick out the best tail for your tying purposes, but we cannot make any guarantees on specific bucktail characteristics.
