Wapsi Squirrel Skin Zonked
The fur of American Squirrels has lots of characteristics, making it an ideal tying material for dubbing-applications and zonker stripes.
The fine mottled hair with super smooth under-fur and coarser top-fur makes for ideal dubbing - great for spikey nymph-bodies, thorax and tails as well as shrimp and gammarus patterns. Twisted in a dubbing loop this subtle material works great for hackles and bodies on salmon- seatrout- and steelhead flies too.
Details:
- Ideal for dubbing and zonkers
- It is supersoft so it'll look very agile underwater
- The leather is a lot thinner than on other zonkerstrips, so it appears even more agile
- The fur is extremely dense, making it look nice and bulky
- Underfur and guard hair are different in color - giving the zonker a nice natural contrast.
- This product is a whole hide
- Perfect for Trout and Co!
Founded in Iowa in 1945, Wapsi is one of the most traditional companies for fly tying materials. The beginnings were small and local, but nowadays, this family-owned business offers almost everything a fly tyer's heart desires. From various feathers and furs to rubber legs, wires, and much more. A special feature is also the practical solutions for storing tying threads and the well-thought-out accessories. Despite the high quality of materials, Wapsi has remained true to itself and offers all products at extremely fair prices.
