Basic Bucktail Jig Fly | Easy fly pattern for spin or BFS

The basic bucktail jig fly is the best way for any beginner to try their hand at fly tying, and fishing with a fly on a spinning rod or baitcaster set up.

I've used this and several variants of it to successfully land peacock bass here in Singapore, where fly fishing is mostly illegal.

Here, I demonstrate how I tie a Bucktail Streamer. For those who are new, a 'streamer' simply refers to a fly that mimics a bait fish.

If you are new to fly fishing, here are the essential tools you'll need:
Fly Vise (get a rotatable version): Amz: https://amzn.to/2LcmegY or Lazada: https://c.lazada.sg/t/c.0vxr?sub_aff_...
