Hareline Crosscut Rabbit Strips - Olive #3

Hareline Dubbin Crosscut Rabbit Strips are premium natural fur strips crafted for fly tying, offering lively movement and clean wrapping around hook shanks. Cut across the grain so the hair lays back when palmered, these Hareline crosscut rabbit strips provide a streamlined profile ideal for streamers, leeches, and many saltwater patterns. Typical packs include multiple strips—commonly four strips approximately 8–10 inches long depending on cut—giving consistent length and color for tying multiple flies.

Key Features

• Crosscut Orientation: Hair laid across the hide for rearward flow and a smooth, palmered appearance.
• Versatile Use: Excellent for palmered bodies, collars, tails, and wrapping around Superbraid or hook shanks.
• Premium Hides & Colors: Cut from grade-A hides and dyed in streamer-ready shades including Olive, Black, White and fluorescent options.
• Consistent Length: Strips sized for reliable tying—commonly 8–10" per strip—so patterns tie uniformly.

Fly tiers choose Hareline for predictable behavior and dependable colorfast dyes. Crosscut rabbit strips add natural motion and volume without excessive weight, making them a go-to material for freshwater trout streamers and aggressive saltwater patterns alike. The hair flares and lays back to mimic baitfish profiles and creates lifelike action in current and retrieved flies. These strips work well on a variety of hook sizes and are especially effective when tied over or alongside synthetic bodies for enhanced movement.
