Hareline Coastal Deer Hair - Dark | Premium Fly Tying Material

Premium coastal deer hair for larger, lifelike flies

Hareline Coastal Deer Hair - Dark is a premium fly tying material from Hareline Dubbin, a name anglers trust for consistent quality since 1981. The Coastal Deer Hair uses longer, softer fibers than standard deer hair, delivering buoyant lift for larger flies while preserving a natural, flowing movement in the water. The result is a versatile material that helps your patterns ride cleanly, track true, and exhibit a subtle, lifelike action from cast to retrieve.

This hair delivers controlled flare and buoyancy, allowing you to shape a natural silhouette without sacrificing durability. It performs well across a range of patterns where a slightly softer profile is desired, including bass bugs and saltwater designs that benefit from a flexible body and resilient core.
