Mangums Dragon Tails UV Treated Olive

Mangums Dragon Tails are sweeping the fly tying world……a phenomenon really. A game changing materials for bass, saltwater and even for our own native Murray Cod.

Conceived by David Mangum, a top notch fly tyer and Florida guide. These tapered tails make it super-fast and easy to tye BIG BAITS with a ton of action. Use them “as is” for hook sizes 2/0 – 5/0, or cut them back shorter for smaller hook/baitfish sizes (us a dab of super glue where you make the cut to avoid fraying). You can’t go too short though, or you start losing the action. Using various retrieval techniques you can make them dance or swim with a snake like action. Tails have been specially treated to add color fastness and durability. Great possibilities for bass, pike, muskie, murray cod and of course their original intent, saltwater baitfish.

From one of the premier tarpon guides on the Gulf Coast, Mangums Dragon Tail fly is made from an amazing new material that moves and undulates as it swims. Poly-based synthetic fabric with exceptionally diverse applications. Great lifelike movement in the water. Perfect for streamers, or shorten, apply adhesive, and use for a variety of body, wing, and tail applications.

Comes in packs of 5 hanks.

Of course, if you want to create all sorts of natural looking streamer fly patterns, then our ever growing range of natural hairs and furs is the ideal place to start for something different to the synthetic option.
