Hand selected and custom-dyed in the Northwoods of Wisconsin. Good bucktail is the perfect fly tying material for building beautiful, lightweight, and water-shedding flies.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe tails are put into several grades. The fiber quality and fiber length are what determine the grades. What makes these tails so special is not the length, but the quality of fibers. Most bucktail is ruined in the dying process, but here we take extra measures to make sure that does not happen. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003ePlease note that the colors displayed on your smartphone or computer screen may not exactly match the actual dyed colors of the bucktail due to variations in screen settings and lighting conditions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44513922842737,"sku":null,"price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/8098\/6225\/files\/FE_SocialBadge2-100.jpg?v=1789695630","url":"https:\/\/figureeats.com\/products\/figure-eats-aa-grade-bucktail","provider":"Figure Eats Bucktail Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
