Overview
A synthetic bucktail substitute for fly tying, made from polyester and sold as a 16 color set, aimed at flies for trout and bass.
The special field notes Not, which combined with the faux naming points to synthetic hair rather than real deer bucktail, a common substitute that avoids the inconsistency of natural hair bundles. Selling in 16 colors covers a broad range of pattern needs in one purchase rather than buying single colors separately.

- Suited to trout and bass patterns
