Details

These zonkers consist of strips of fur and hide with the hair still attached. They are typically thinner and smaller than standard zonker strips, making them suitable for tying smaller flies such as streamers, nymphs, and even some dry fly patterns.

The fur from pine squirrels is prized for its softness, mobility, and natural appearance. When used as a fly tying material, it provides a lifelike movement in the water that can mimic the appearance of small baitfish, leeches, and other aquatic prey. The natural taper and coloration of the fur make it an excellent choice for creating realistic fly patterns that can entice strikes from fish.
