Hareline Dubbin Magnum's Original Mini Dragon Tail UV2 Treated #369 Tan – Fly Tying Tail

Overview

Discover Magnum's Original Mini Dragon Tail, a thoughtful upgrade for smaller streamer patterns.

The UV2 treatment helps maintain color and integrity in varied light, so your flies stay visually compelling through different angles and casts.
