Yeah they have a pretty nice pack of pieces. I have so many packs of both crosscut and zonkers, but still couldn't resist buying a few on these packs over a year back. They still sit or should I say stuffed into that large drawer of rabbit, LOL!
I have tried several of their mixed color packs of hair like squirrel and even Bucktail pieces and all were nice.
looks like you got a lot of good working material out of it for sure!
Looks like you found a way to stay busy during the FROZEN season. LOL Great idea buddy.

Looks like I need to try some of that stuff. Should make some nice jigs. I seen them hairline bags of pieces for sale somewhere. I will look at u-tube for some video tying Zonker strips etc. Thanks Gary
Looking good Doug :ThumbsUp
Like to see results of a jig made out of it,need pic
Have you ever used zonker strips to make a jig tail like the Lindy Fuzzy Grub? I've been making some this winter, haven't had a chance to use them yet. So I can't report on their effectiveness yet.
Here's a couple

I've used Fuzzy grubs before and they fish nice - the only kind I've made like that are these two. One with a feather and one with krystal flash

That's what I'm talking about, only for the tail I use Zonker strips. I have a tool from carp fishing called a boile hook that I pull the zonker strip through the rubber jig body with. Nice looking jigs Fatman, thanks for the post.
Good pics!
Thanks all - a really cheap tool if you can find one small enough is a latch hook for making rugs. I have a Rainy's leg making tool for doing legs on a pheasant tail feather and it's real small.
Stillbear - check Cabelas they have 25% off on fly tying materials, you'll have to look and see if they have the Hairline packs listed.
