I'm thinking of adding some new colors to the Zonkers and Cross-cut rabbit strips I cut. What do you think of thse colors? I am getting them from Canada and the fur is thicker. Let me know please which ones I should stock in addition to what I have. I supply both jig and fly tiers. Thanks everyone.

Iffn I was purchasing said items I would get th bright colored ones..:dono
Chartreuse for sure and then :hesaid
Thanks. I have most in the top row and Chartruse and red in the bottom. What do you think of the gold, lt blue and salmon? I like the gold ...I had yellow but thinking I like this better. Not too sure about the lt blue and salmom. Kind of dull. Fly tyers like the green. I played with making two tone and barred last year...hope to perfect it this summer.
Light blue would be good with a monkey milk jig or blue glacier sorta tie. Probably my second choice behind the chartreuse :twocents
Sweet colors!
I think all the colors are just fine.
Any Chinchilla? It is a gray/white color, one of my favorites. Silver Grey is another good one. I use a lot of fluorescent colors as well as the two tones. Fluorescent yellow is a killer color. I use rabbit in about 90% of my jigs, never have enough of it.
That gold would be good too.
Yeh I like them a lot. Just out of stock at the moment. will have more after May 1st.Quote:

bought a chinchilla pelt a few years ago and I would have like the pelt a little thicker as it was hard to slice easily. As far as the two tone I tried to dye some tips once and while they came out good it was a waste of dye for the small amount I was doing. I have one Hairline pelt blue/purple that I got when they were easy to get.
I have cut 100s of pelts now. I made a jig to strech the pelts to make them tight and a cutter that cuts 15 strips at a time. Figured out how to change the blades easy which was a problem at first. Can get about 50 -60Ft of 1/8" strips per pelt. I have found that Canadian and UK rabbits are thicker. Tried adding die to the top and then ironing it in. Worked but didn't have time to make sure it was perinate. Hope to perfect it this summer.
