    Yes I have a bunch of different colors in Zonker strips they show in the videos and also some crosscut strips to tie with. Just put some in my box in the last month or so.

    I have like 10 colors of just one color crosscut strips and then some with 2 color. Zonkers I have some with 3 colors (Tiger Strips) and some that are 2 color including black bars.

    Caught some crappie in the last month on that too. I like the rabbit fur, but it's not really better than marabou probably. Also hackle is very good for tail material.

    Zonkers are cut long wise on the rabbit and used just tied along the hook and hangs off the back end. Crosscut are cut cross wise off the rabbit and the hair lays different and they are tied on the back end and then wrapped forward all the way to the head. Just make a different looking jig or fly.

    Both are strips on rabbit hide with hair on.

    Hair cut off of a zonker strip makes a nice tailing material on small 1/80 & 1/64 oz. jigs for gills and crappie. I think it holds up better then marabou, on a chennile body jig.

    Great video's, zonker strips have always been good with flyfishing and alot of flytying methods have come over to the jig tying world.

    I would not cut it off my self. Also would probably use crosscut on them, but Zonkers will work too without cutting it off.
