Where to find real fur tracers?
« on: May 30, 2012, 10:23:00 PM »
I dont care for the stick on tracers sold at 3Rivers. I'd like to find the real thing (rabbit fur) or a similar material. Prefer white in color. I use super glue to attach and it holds so much better than the stick on (tape).

Does the local fabric store carry this?  Looking to do a dozen or so.

Thanks in advance.

Fly shop at Bass Pro in Grapevine has it. They're called zonker strips. One pack will do a bunch.

Try your local fly fishing shop.  They are made of rabbit fur and are called zonker strips,they come in lots of colors, even chartreuse.  I have used the brown ones to make a hellgrammite imatation fly that the local river smallmouth absolutly LOVE!

He could always go to the SPCA and "adopt" a lil bunny!  On second thought maybe a fly tying shop is the way to go.
