Not real rabbit but very close to the real thing! This synthetic rabbit strip is very close to the real thing, with a couple of benefits that set this material apart from the real thing. It is 1/4” wide but can easily be slit to convert to a crosscut coalfield type strip. Casts like a feather, sinks and moves like rabbit. Huge bonus, when you make your first back cast all the water releases from the faux fur and makes the fly light and easy to cast.
