Rabbit Zonker Cross Cut Strips

Premium cross-cut zonker. 3mm strips. 14 colors for streamers and saltwater patterns.

Cross-cut rabbit zonker is the workhorse fly-tying material for streamers, predator flies, and saltwater baitfish patterns. Cross-cut (vs. straight-cut) means the hair lays back along the body as you wrap it, giving the natural pulsing, breathing motion that triggers predatory strikes — the same reason rabbit-strip leeches and game-changers catch big fish. Fulling Mill's strips are premium quality: continuous thick hair with no spotty patches, perfectly straight, and packaged to stay that way until you sit down at the vise.

Tying Notes

• Streamer bodies: wrap cross-cut along the body for a built-in pulsing collar — classic for leeches and bigger streamers
• Striper patterns: White, Olive, Chartreuse, and Tan are the staples for sand eel and bunker imitations
• Articulated streamers / Game Changers: cross-cut wraps cleanly on the rear sections
• Trout streamers: Black, Olive, and Peach Brown Barred for big leeches and sculpins
• Use 4 to 6 wraps per inch of body for a full collar; less for a sparser profile

Why We Like It

Fulling Mill's quality control on materials is the reason their cross-cut zonker keeps showing up on the bench — consistent hair density, no bad strips in the pack, dyes that hold. The 14-color range covers everything from striper sand eels to trout leeches, and at $6.50/pack you can stock a dozen colors without breaking the bench budget. The cross-cut is the right choice when you want the hair to flow back and breathe in the water; reach for straight-cut strips when you want a tail.
