Mink is not real popular but if I came across it I would definitely try it for a mini zonker. I'd probably zonk it in 1/10" strips.
Muskrat works well for trout jigs, a jig tyer on another forum had great results using it.

I have a little mink, well I have so many kinds of pieces of fur/hair. I have not tried it on a jig, but will look at it to see what I think. Mostly have thought of is for flies.
Now I have some beautiful min natural dark color and maybe I will see what I can do with it.

My daughter brought me an old mink coat and I cut a bunch of zonker strips from it!! Won't run out for a LONG time!! Use it on jigs and flies
Thats what I was thinking of doing. Do you like the way the fur works?Quote:

I have some fur hats I was going to use on jigs, but never did and I see on tv they may be worth something, lol! Still there is one I will most likely use on jigs, it's awesome loins got that. My mom's Mink coat from the early 1950's still in great condition is in the hands of my wife and doubt I will be cutting that thing up, lol!
