What it is
Hareline Bling Rabbit Strips are rabbit fur strips cut from Grade A rabbit hide with holographic and fluorescent accents built in. On the hook they stay supple and breathe, giving you that lifelike rabbit movement in the water, while the flash and contrast help the fly show up underwater. The hide is durable, so the strip holds together when you’re fishing bigger, harder-used streamers.
What to tie with it
Use it for Zonker-style bodies and as a wrapped or laid-in strip to build large streamer profiles fast. It’s a natural fit for Double Bunny-style streamers and leech patterns where you want the strip to pulse on the strip, drift, swing, or cast. You can also cut your own rabbit strips for the width you want when you’re dialing in the body on a jig-cut zonker.
Flies and the fish they're for
Zonkers tied with rabbit strips are classic trout streamers for rivers and stillwaters, and they translate well to bass ponds and rivers when you upsize. Double Bunny streamers are commonly fished for larger trout and warmwater predators like bass and pike anywhere you need a bulky, swimming profile with built-in movement. Bunny leech-style patterns made with rabbit strips are go-to “anything that swims” flies, covering everything from trout in current to aggressive warmwater fish on the strip or swing.
