Last week I was bouncing around the inter-web looking for some fly/jig tying material. Looking for some rabbit fur, and thought the local Hobby Lobby had a pretty good deal at $11.00 and some change each pelt. These are about 12"x10" and the online ads said they had white in stock.
Well, it was wrong. They had 2 ea pelts of the natural brown gray coloring, not what I wanted. I wanted white so After cutting some Zonker straps, I could dye them other colors. I also thought of shaving some and blending some dubbing and save some more dollars on tying materials. So it was back to the iner-web for me.
Something got me on Amazon and after a short search there I came across an advertisement for 4 12"x10" craft grade Rabbit Pelts for $28.00. After Tax, yes tax, it was just over $31.00. Came yesterday, and they are nice. Now, at the fly store zonked strips are 1o strips for about $6.00 plus shipping, for each color, and dubbing is around $3.00 a pack of about an ounce or there abouts. With what I got here, I saved a bunch of $'s. Even with the cost of the dye, I saved a bunch. So to me, that's a win, win...
Sometimes, it saves you some greenbacks to keep your eyes open...just sayin'.Name: 20240903_032416.jpg Views: 191 Size: 63.2 KB
