Quick take
High-quality rabbit fur strips cross-cut and ready to wrap for tying lifelike streamers, zonkers, and leech patterns.
These cross-cut rabbit fur strips are cut 1/8 inch wide, so they wrap neatly around a hook shank for streamer bodies and collars. They suit zonkers, Hare Matukas, bunny buggers and steelhead or salmon patterns, where the fur gives the fly lively movement in the water. This assortment pack of steelhead and salmon colors is a handy way for a fly tyer to stock several shades at once.
