Rabbit Zonker Strips, also called Rabbit Zonker Strips, are a very popular and effective fly tying material, especially for streamers intended for trout, pike, bass and other predatory fish.
Why use rabbit strips?
Pulsation and movement: The main characteristic of rabbit strips is their ability to "pulse" in the water, even without active animation on the part of the angler. The fine hairs and the flexibility of the leather give incredible life to the fly, perfectly imitating the movement of prey. It is this natural movement that attracts fish.
Volume and Profile: Rabbit strips add significant volume to streamers, creating an attractive profile underwater.
Ease of tying: Although they may seem a little tricky to work with at first, rabbit thongs are relatively easy to tie once you get the hang of it. The thin leather makes them easy to wrap or tie onto the hook.
Typical use in fly tying
Rabbit strips are most commonly used for:
Streamer wings: This is their most common use. The strand is attached to the back of the hook to form a long, movable wing that mimics a fishtail. The famous "Zonker" is a perfect example of a fly using a rabbit strand as a wing.
Frills: These can be used to create pulsating frills behind the fly's head.
In short, if you are tying flies for predatory fish, rabbit strips are an essential material to have in your fly box for their ability to create irresistible movements in the water.
