"Excellent buck tail. Soft, slight krinkle (which I like) and very little or no flaring. Long enough for most salt water flies"

"Overall very good quality, long tails and long hair. Some variability in hair length and tail length. I prefer to buy in-store so I can select."

"Thread your leader with a mickey finn size 8 - 12, and use a small caddis nymph as a dropper - is a very good workhorse on Pennsylvania freestone streams"

Bucktail,
January 26, 2010
By: csfish
from Tallahassee, FL
"I ordered the bucktails in black and rootbeer. They are good quality with above average size and density. The rootbeer color was a little more red tint than expected, but it will still work for my redfish flies and jigs. I will order more in the future becuase they are good quality for a fair price."

Best Bucktails Available,
June 24, 2008
By: flyman39
from nc
"Purchased these just after buying some at the local fly shop. The difference was surprising. I always thought a bucktail was a bucktail, but the Orvis ones were fuller, larger and superior in all ways. A great buy for the price."

Long and Crinkled,
October 5, 2007
By: NESportsman
from Byfield, MA
"I have been tying for 30 years and I have found the bucktails to be of high quality -- long and crinkled hair that will add bulk to your saltwater files without adding much weight.
I prefer bucktail to synthetic when given the choice."
