Pacchiarini's Dragon Tails XXL
Pacchiarini's Dragon Tails XXL
Hypnotic movement. More water-displacing mass. The ultimate strike reflex trigger. 🐊
When fiber or hair alone isn't enough to grab the attention of a passive trophy pike, it's time to bring out the heavy artillery. Paolo Pacchiarini's original Dragon Tail XXL has revolutionized modern pike fly tying. This massive, tapered tail creates a snake-like, powerfully pulsing swim action in the water that no natural material or traditional flash fiber can replicate.
The XL size is designed specifically for large predator fish. It displaces a massive amount of water even during a slow retrieve, making it the perfect weapon for cold-water fishing and wary trophy pike.
Why Dragon Tail XXL is a must-have for every pike tyer?
-
Unmatched swim action: The tail's wide, tapered shape and soft material make it come alive and kick aggressively in even the slightest current or slow retrieve.
-
Maximum silhouette: Adds instant length and bulk to the fly without making it heavy or hard to cast.
-
Easy to attach: You can tie the tail directly onto the hook, or attach it to a snap clip to swap tail colors on the fly mid-session.
-
Handles abuse: The tough material withstands pike teeth significantly better than traditional feather tails.
Ideal for:
-
Rear sections and tails of large pike and musky flies.
-
The lively rear section of articulated flies.
-
Building interchangeable tail systems (Wiggle Tail / Dragon Tail rigs).
