F&M Squirrel Tail Combo
Premium Natural Squirrel Tail Assortment for Streamers, Wet Flies, Nymphs and Hair Wing Patterns
F&M Squirrel Tail Combo is a carefully selected assortment of natural squirrel tails in a variety of colours, offering one of the most versatile natural materials in fly tying. The fibres are fine, durable and naturally barred, combining lively movement with enough stiffness to maintain beautifully shaped wings and tails. This balance has made squirrel tail a classic material for streamers, wet flies, nymphs, Salmon and Steelhead patterns for generations.
The assortment provides both natural and dyed colours, allowing fly tyers to create everything from traditional patterns to modern streamers. The fibres remain supple in the water, resist matting and produce a natural swimming action that has made squirrel tail a permanent favourite on tying benches worldwide.
What is F&M Squirrel Tail Combo?
Squirrel tail features long, naturally barred fibres with a unique balance of flexibility and resilience. Compared with Bucktail, the fibres are softer and create considerably more movement, while still being firm enough to produce clean, well-supported wings and tails. This makes squirrel tail equally suitable for classic wet flies, modern streamers and traditional Hair Wing patterns.
Besides wings and tails, the shorter fibres can be incorporated into natural dubbing or composite dubbing loops, making squirrel tail a remarkably versatile material for both freshwater and saltwater fly tying.

FLYFISHING.BG RECOMMENDATIONCompared with Bucktail, Squirrel Tail produces significantly softer, more natural movement, while Bucktail offers greater stiffness and profile support. Compared with Arctic Blue Fox, squirrel tail fibres are shorter and slightly firmer, making them an excellent choice for smaller streamers, wet flies and traditional Hair Wing patterns. Thanks to their natural barring and subtle translucency, squirrel tails remain one of the finest materials for classic Salmon, Steelhead and trout flies, while also performing exceptionally well in modern streamer designs. |
