Hareline Dubbin Rabbit Strips Tan - Natural Zonker Fly Tying Material

Unmatched motion with Hareline Rabbit Strips in Tan

Hareline Rabbit Strips are classic zonker-style tying elements crafted from natural rabbit fur. The tan color brings a warm, versatile tone that blends easily with many color schemes, helping your streamer patterns achieve a natural silhouette in the water.

These strips are cut zonker-style to deliver long, flowing hair that moves with each beat of the water. The result is a soft, lifelike shimmer as the fur sweeps and settles with the current. The moving texture can help your streamer patterns come alive, whether you’re targeting bass, trout, or panfish in varied light.

What makes Hareline Dubbin Rabbit Strips special goes beyond color. The fur’s natural softness and the zonker cut work together to create action that feels organic rather than stiff. When tied into your pattern, the tan strips can serve as a mid-body or tail component, providing both color and motion without adding bulky weight.
