Hareline Crosscut Rabbit Strips Red #14 - 1/8in Wide Fly Tying Material

Crosscut Rabbit Strips Red #14 - 1/8in Wide

When you tie flies, texture and color can define a pattern’s action in water. The Crosscut Rabbit Strips Red #14 from Hareline Dubbin deliver a nimble, lifelike touch thanks to natural rabbit fur cut in a precision crosscut. The strips are 1/8in wide, making them suitable for delicate tails, cheeks, or subtle body cues in small to mid-size patterns. The rich red shade adds visibility in low light and along riffles, while the natural luster of the fur contributes a believable motion as water runs over the fly.

Hareline Dubbin has a long heritage in fly tying materials. Founded in 1981, the company began at a kitchen stove and has grown into a 45,000 square foot facility with thousands of fly tying products. The scale and experience behind Crosscut Rabbit Strips aim to ensure dependable quality and fast delivery for tiers at all levels.

• Hair lays back for a clean silhouette in water, reducing bulk on small flies.
• Four strips per pack provide flexibility for multiple patterns or experiments.
• Natural skin appearance preserves a believable texture and vibe on patterns.
• Wide color variety supports matching different insects, light conditions, and water color.

Practical uses and care help you get the most from these strips. Use them as tails, cheeks, or collars in small to medium flies; layer with other fibers to create lifelike body segments or accents; and store in a cool, dry place to preserve texture and color over time. The Crosscut technique emphasizes clean edges, which helps the fibers wrap tightly without fraying, giving you consistent results across sessions. The 1/8in width balances visibility and profile, making it a versatile choice for a range of classic and modern patterns.

• Ideal for tails, cheeks, or collars in small to mid-size patterns.
• Pair with other materials to build realistic body segments and accents.
• Keep in a dry area to maintain natural texture and color.
