I have been playing around with some Groovy Rabbit Strips and Pony Head with one UV Blue/White and one Silver/SilverGray jigs. All the Groovy Bunny Strips are on the left and the other two are Crosscut strips. On the right I just wanted a Blue and UV White one to match the Blue and White tubes and I also wanted a Gray one so used the Silver Gray Crosscut Rabbit, oh and the Top two left are 1/48 Oz and the rest are all 1/32 Oz.

Those look great Skip. I really need to try some bunny and hair jigs.
Really like those colors, where do you find groovy rabbit?

I order from Hareline and last year I just decided to try these when they first got them. I am just getting around to trying them, lol! I seem to do that a lot, buy something and wait a year or two before I even tie with it. I am trying to get better about that, lol!Quote:

I really like the gray one Skip. The flash hanging out of the bottom is something that never crossed my mind, looks great. I know the fish are going to like the action from the blade vibration. Good idea Mister.
looks great
Thanks guys! It started because I wanted to see what they look like tied on a jig and I like them a good bit. Wanted to see what others think.

Looking great Skip. May just have to get me some...
LOL Is that why your place looks more like a store than a tying room? :)Quote:

My real trouble is I am going to need to offer things like Capes and Saddles on a fly tying site and I use that site a lot, but I have not posted in several years.Quote:

LOL... If she's anything like mine, it'll look clean and neat. But it'll take me days to find the thread or feather I'm looking for!Quote:

Also how do you tie it to the hook? Cut it off the back and tie it on? Wrap it around the hook like chenille? I've never used a rabbit strip...is it also called a Zonker? I've only used feathers and a little fur off a squirrel tail. Time for me to expand my horrizons...lol.
My wife is a re-arranger. I work out of boxes.
I been in there Skip. Martha would have to retire to straighten it out, 2 weeks is not enough time. Bet you would find a lot of things you forgot about. hahaha
LMAO, your absolutely correct!Quote:

Then I do put a drop of super glue right on that whip finish and area of the wraps and then start to wrap the rabbit strip to the head and trap and make your neck and whip finish.
Let me send you a PM on the strips.
