Plural form; multiple fishing lures made with deer tail hair, or multiple artificial flies tied in this traditional style.
Regular plural of 'bucktail,' formed by adding -s. The term remains central to fishing vocabulary despite modern synthetic alternatives.
Professional fly fishermen often have 'bucktail collections' in carefully organized boxes—different bucktail patterns have been named and catalogued like an encyclopedia, with legendary patterns like the 'Mickey Finn' still being tied identically after 80+ years.
