Breathe dynamic, lifelike movement into your sub-surface patterns with Hareline Rabbit Strips, the absolute gold standard in standard zonker-style fly design. Cut to the highly versatile and standard 1/8-inch width, these premium fur strips are meticulously processed from top-grade hides to ensure maximum fiber density and structural durability on the hook. Every retail package comes loaded with exactly 4 strips that span the full length of the hide, with each strip measuring approximately 10 inches in length for a generous yield at the vise. On the strip, the natural rabbit hair absorbs water to create a fluid, breathing, and undulating swimming action that mimics minnows, leeches, and baitfish flawlessly. It functions as an exceptional choice for wrapping full-bodied cross-cut leeches, pinning down durable tails on standard streamers, or adding lifelike volume to heavy-duty trout, bass, and steelhead flies.
High-protein food sources like leeches and baitfish are staple meals for big trout holding along the deep current seams of the
Grey Reef and Miracle Mile stretches of the North Platte River right here in Casper. Local tiers rely heavily on standard
Hareline Rabbit Strips to tie up deadly Pine Squirrel leeches and Slumpbusters. For a highly productive drift boat setup, cross-wrap a body of rabbit fur over a heavy underbody of lead wire or cap it with an inverted
Hareline Double Pupil Brass Eye. The natural fur pulses organically even in slow eddies and tailwater pools, providing an irresistible silhouette that triggers instantaneous, aggressive strikes from holding 20-inch rainbow trout without overbulking your casting loop in our legendary Wyoming winds.
