Natural Bucktail - Classic Grade
Guaranteed min of 4.3" most commonly close to 5"
When there is so much variation in natural materials, it would be unfair to price them all the same. It's for that reason that we handle each tail listed on this website and sort them out into grades. Coloured tails are now listed individually.
Classic old school tails, all of these tails have been graded to ensure that they are of excellent quality. Hair in this grade is between 4.3 - 5" averaging in the middle, many are tipping longer than 5".
These tails are ideal for large Clousers, Deceivers, small to medium Hollows, Bulkhead Deceivers, Bendbacks, large popper tails, Bufords / 747's, Large Bucktail Game Changers, medium Flatwings, and Light Horsemen. Like all of out tails, please reach out if you require a certain type of hair ( soft, stiff, straight, wavy, in between etc), there is no rubbish here, you can be assured that even without a request, the quality is excellent, and unlike an over processed commercial tail.
All tails are sourced and sold to Beast Brushes exclusively. The location of these Deer is from one of the most northern part of the United States which means that these tails exist in brutal cold conditions and the hair shows this. Hair that has endured these sorts of conditions is thicker and feels softer/ fluffier than tails sourced in a warmer climate.
At first glance, our tails may not look that different from a tails sourced in a warmer climate or a commercial tail, until you feel the hair while on the vice or see it in the water and how that extra insulation and small amount of lanolin we leave in moves throughout the water.
Graded and processed by professional fly tyer Chris Adams of Ammo flies, you can be guaranteed that your tails are graded and selected by someone who ties and fishes with these unique tails in the same places you do.
Hide length will vary, grading is for hair length and quality only. Unless requested, tails will be selected randomly, please ad a comment at checkout if you want a certain type of hair.
