Hareline Rabbit Strips Hareline Rabbit Strips are what happens when someone takes the highest quality rabbit fur and cuts it into perfectly usable strips for fly tying. These aren't just any rabbit strips—they're premium furs that pulse, undulate, and generally refuse to sit still in the water, which is exactly what you want when you're trying to convince fish that your fly is a living, breathing meal. Why Rabbit Strips Work The magic is in the fur itself. Rabbit has incredibly soft, mobile guard hairs that move independently in the water, creating lifelike action that triggers predatory instincts. The hide backing gives you structure and durability, while the fur provides that hypnotic swimming motion that makes fish forget they've seen a thousand flies before. Whether you're palmering it for a body or tying it in as a tail, rabbit strips add movement that static materials simply can't match. Perfect For Tying Zonker Tails: The classic application—tails that swim with every twitch and strip Palmered Bodies: Wrap them forward for leeches and streamers with maximum action Articulated Streamers: Multi-section flies with independent movement zones Woolly Buggers: Upgrade your standard marabou tail to rabbit for extra durability Bass & Pike Flies: Big, meaty profiles that push water and look alive Steelhead & Salmon: Intruders, leeches, and swinging flies that pulse through the run The Quality Difference Hareline uses only the highest quality rabbit furs, which means consistent hide thickness, even fur density, and colors that actually look like what they're supposed to. The strips are cut to standard widths, so you're not fighting uneven edges or thin spots that fall apart after one fish. Tying tip: For maximum movement, tie the strip in by the tip and palmer it forward. For a sleeker profile, tie it in at the head and let it trail as a tail. Either way, wet the fur before you start tying—it's easier to work with and you'll see exactly how it's going to look in the water. Available in natural colors and every dyed shade you can imagine, from subtle to "fish can see this from the next county."
