Hareline Pastel Northern Bucktail

A natural material like no other, bucktail fibers offer built-in taper and movement that no other material offers. Whenever you need a pastel color dyed into your bucktail, Hareline's Pastel Northern Bucktail is just the right choice. These bucktails come in a range of clean pastel colors, and you can turn to them whether you're blending up a large saltwater bunker pattern or looking to tie some classic hairwing streamers for freshwater use. From musky-sized Bucktail Game Changers to small salmon flies, no matter what you're tying, these pastel bucktails are sure to give you the soft colors that you need to match almost any baitfish there is.

Uses

Hareline's Pastel Bucktails have a ton of uses and are sure to enhance the color of any fly you're tying. Bucktail is most commonly used for creating tails and wings on streamers, but it can also be used to tie entire flies such as the Beast Fleye and Hollow Fleye. Freshwater to saltwater, Pastel Bucktails are a great choice for tying anything from a Surf Candy to a Royal Coachmen Streamer.

Comparisons

Bucktail is a natural material with essentially no other commonly compared natural material. One synthetic material that can be compared is Fish-Skull's Faux Bucktail. Faux Bucktail provides a similar look in that it's tapered from bottom to top, but it does lack the natural appearance and crinkle of Pastel Bucktail. For that, it's ideal to use Hareline's Pastel Northern Bucktail whenever you're looking to tie those classic patterns like the Hollow Fleye, Clouser, and others.

Bucktail has been used to tie flies for decades, and a few of the most popular patterns that use these fibers are:

• Hollow Fleye
• Bucktail Deceiver
• Mickey Finn
• Beast Fleye
• Clouser Minnow
• Lefty's Deceiver
