JMC Bucktail Set of 6 Colors
Six Selected Bucktail Colours for Streamers, Predator Flies, Salmon and Steelhead Patterns
JMC Bucktail Set of 6 Colors is a practical assortment of six carefully selected natural bucktail colours covering the most commonly used combinations in modern fly tying. The long hollow fibres are lightweight, resilient and naturally stiff, allowing fly tyers to build large baitfish profiles that retain their shape in the water while remaining easy to cast. Bucktail has long been one of the essential natural materials for streamers, predator flies, Salmon and Steelhead patterns.
Instead of purchasing six individual bucktails, this assortment provides a versatile colour palette suitable for freshwater and saltwater fly tying alike. The fibres absorb very little water, making even large streamers surprisingly light while maintaining an excellent silhouette throughout the retrieve.
What is the JMC Bucktail Set of 6 Colors?
Bucktail is natural deer tail hair known for its long hollow fibres. Unlike softer materials such as rabbit, Arctic Fox or Supreme Goat, bucktail keeps its profile underwater instead of collapsing around the hook. This unique characteristic allows fly tyers to create large baitfish imitations that remain lightweight while producing a clean, defined silhouette.
The six-colour assortment is an excellent solution for both beginners and experienced fly tyers, providing the core colours needed for iconic patterns such as the Clouser Minnow, Lefty's Deceiver, Hollow Fleye, Hair Wing streamers and countless other classic designs.

FLYFISHING.BG RECOMMENDATIONCompared with Snowrunner (Nayat), Bucktail produces a much firmer, more stable baitfish profile that holds its shape throughout the retrieve, while Snowrunner excels at maximum movement and bulk. Compared with Supreme Goat, Bucktail is noticeably stiffer and considerably easier to sculpt into Hollow Fleye and Clouser-style silhouettes. For Clouser Minnow, Lefty's Deceiver, Hollow Fleye, Hair Wing streamers, Salmon and Steelhead flies, Bucktail remains the benchmark natural material. |
