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!
