Wapsi Barred Rabbit Zonkers – Regular Fluorescent Chartreuse (RZBS509)

Wapsi Barred Rabbit Zonkers: Variegated Color and Texture for Fly Tying

Wapsi Barred Rabbit Zonkers are crafted from premium rabbit strips dyed to deliver a striking two-tone effect. The barred dyeing creates alternating light and dark bands, producing a natural, variegated look that catches the eye as water moves past the fly. At 1/8 inch thick, these zonkers strike a balance between body density and pliable presentation, helping you build solid shapes without adding excessive bulk.

In practical tying, these zonkers shine in a variety of streamer patterns. They work especially well for two-tone zonkers, double bunnies, and sculpins, where the color work can hint at fins, scales, or texture while remaining easy to wrap and secure. The Regular Fluorescent Chartreuse color is bright enough to stay visible across conditions, yet it blends with other materials to form balanced compositions.
