Re: Rabbit hair/fur

I believe that God is making them right now. I'm sorry I couldn't help it. If you can't find someone to help you out look for a fly fishing tackle store close by. I tie a few flies now a then and you can get rabbit and a few other types of fur from them.

Re: Rabbit hair/fur

What I did was to locate a rabbit hunter and ask for some pelts when they skin them.

Re: Rabbit hair/fur

Every flyfishing shop should carry rabbit strips.

What you`re up to - pouring them in as tails like with the Megabass softplastics?

Re: Rabbit hair/fur

Any Flyfishing store as stated above or Cabelas, Sportsman wharehouse, Bass pro etc. They may be labled as Zonker strips for those who dont flyfish lol.

Re: Rabbit hair/fur

Living in TX. I am alwayse finding fresh road kill and frequently stop and take coon, squirell, rabbit, and deer furs and tails. I will also dye some of these to the colors I want. I am only suguesting this if your inclined and have the time. Keep a sharp knife and some ziploc bags with you and you can get them free if so inclined.
