Spent Fly Fishing 1/8" Zirdle Cut Squirrel Strips

Introducing Spent Fly Fishing’s 1/8" Zirdle Cut Squirrel Strips — the ultimate material for tying lifelike, high-action streamers that consistently trigger aggressive strikes.

Crafted from premium squirrel hide, these strips are precision-cut to a narrow 1/8" width, giving fly tiers exceptional control when designing smaller, more refined patterns. The unique “Zirdle cut” combines the best qualities of zonker and cross-cut styles, creating a versatile strip that’s easy to wrap, tie in, and manipulate for a variety of applications.

What truly sets these strips apart is their natural movement in the water. The soft, supple squirrel fur pulses and breathes with even the slightest current, mimicking baitfish, leeches, and other prey with remarkable realism. This subtle yet dynamic action makes them especially effective in pressured waters where fish demand a convincing presentation.

Whether you’re tying micro streamers, jig flies, or adding accents to nymphs and articulated patterns, these strips deliver both performance and durability. The hide is thin yet strong, ensuring easy handling without sacrificing longevity.

Key Features:

• Precision 1/8" cut for detailed, smaller flies
  
• Ultra-natural movement in the water
• Soft, durable squirrel hide
• Ideal for streamers, jigs, and hybrid patterns

When realism matters and subtle motion makes the difference, Spent Fly Fishing’s 1/8" Zirdle Cut Squirrel Strips give your flies the edge they need to stand out—and get eaten.
