The BeaverTail is FINATICS Fly Company’s next evolution in foam tail design—built for fly tiers who want full control over profile, movement, and customization.
Unlike traditional pre-shaped tails, the BeaverTail is designed to be tied vertical or horizontal, giving you the ability to completely change how your fly moves and tracks in the water. Whether you’re building baitfish, topwater patterns, or subsurface streamers, this material adapts to your design instead of limiting it.
The real advantage is in the cut. Each tail can be trimmed, tapered, or shaped down to match exactly what you need—from wide, water-pushing profiles to slim, subtle movement. One material, multiple applications.
The BeaverTail follows the same sizing structure as the proven GatorTail line, making it easy to integrate into your existing patterns and hook sizes without guesswork. You get the same consistent length and usability—just with added versatility and control.
Made from durable foam, the BeaverTail holds its shape, resists waterlogging, and maintains consistent action throughout the retrieve.
This is not a fixed design—it’s a platform material for building better flies.

Tying with the BeaverTail
The BeaverTail is a foam tail material you shape yourself — tie it vertical or horizontal to change how the fly tracks and moves. Trim wide for a water-pushing baitfish or topwater profile, or taper it slim for subtle, natural movement on subsurface streamers. One material covers baitfish, topwater, and streamer builds, so you control the action instead of the material limiting it.
