These Tiger Barred Rabbit Strips are made from premium rabbit hide that’s been triple-dyed to produce a rich, two-tone color with dark, tiger-style barring on the tips. The soft, flowing fur offers excellent taper and movement in the water, making these strips ideal for streamer bodies, tails, and leech-style flies. Rabbits’ natural underfur and guard hairs combine here to give a lifelike pulsing profile — when tied in, these zonker strips undulate beautifully, imitating baitfish, leeches, and other aquatic prey. The bold barring creates contrast and visual texture, helping your flies to stand out and trigger strikes. These strips are especially well-suited to freshwater patterns (like trout, steelhead, and bass streamers), but they’re also popular in saltwater and warmwater applications thanks to their vibrant colors and dynamic motion. Tyers often use these tiger-barred strips to build zonker-style bodies, leech patterns, articulated streamers, and saltwater bunnies. Their natural flex and length make them easy to manage at the vise, and the durable hide ensures your flies maintain shape without compromising performance.
