bucktail

Deer tail lure

A bucktail is a fishing lure made with hair from a deer's tail, typically tied around a weighted jig head.

The natural hair creates lifelike movement in water, making bucktails effective for catching bass, pike, and saltwater gamefish: He trolled a white bucktail along the reef.

The term also names the deer tail itself before it becomes tackle.
