Flared bucktail collars

With a flare. Depending on the profile I'm looking for, I'll do different things with the profile of the front of the body and also where I take the hair form the bucktail. I find it easier to do this way than to do the reverse tie, especially if I'm doing three colors, one for the belly, one for the sides and another for the topping. I also like to change the length of the bucktail from short, to longer, to longest as I go from the belly to the top of the fly. It seems to give me a fishier profile in the water. More tapered like a small baitfish. Ultimately, it's personal preference. Each technique will get you to pretty much the same place.
