Add irresistible motion and natural profile to your patterns with these premium barred rabbit strips, ideal for a wide range of freshwater and saltwater fly designs. Cut to a consistent width and expertly tanned, each strip offers exceptional durability, suppleness, and lifelike movement in the water.
The naturally barred pattern creates instant contrast and depth, imitating the mottled look of baitfish, crayfish, leeches, and other key prey. The soft hide and dense, flowing hair breathe and pulse with every twitch, making these strips perfect for streamer flies, zonkers, sculpin patterns, articulated leeches, and bulky predator flies.
Each strip is carefully prepared to minimize underfur and ensure clean, easy tying. The leather lies flat on the hook shank, while the mobile fibers maintain volume without excessive weight. This makes it simple to build slim, fast-sinking profiles or large, water-pushing silhouettes depending on your target species and fishing conditions.
Use them for:
- Streamer flies for trout, steelhead, and salmon
- Articulated predator patterns for pike, musky, and other large gamefish
- Leech and baitfish imitations for stillwater and river fishing
- Saltwater and estuary flies where maximum movement is critical
Whether you are an experienced fly tier or just getting started, these barred rabbit strips from a trusted fly tying supplier offer reliable quality, consistent sizing, and superior in-water action. Add them to your bench for patterns that fish hard, look natural, and trigger aggressive strikes season after season.
