Pike Monkey Tiger Barred 3 mm Zonker Strips
Premium Tiger Barred Rabbit Zonker Strips for Streamers and Predator Flies
Pike Monkey Tiger Barred 3 mm Zonker Strips are premium rabbit fur strips featuring distinctive two-tone tiger-barred colouring, developed specifically for tying modern streamers and predator flies. The exceptionally soft rabbit fur creates outstanding movement and volume underwater, while the contrasting barred pattern adds extra visual attraction that often triggers aggressive strikes from predatory fish. The 3 mm width makes these strips ideal for small to medium-sized streamers where mobility and balance are more important than sheer bulk.
The wide colour selection allows fly tyers to create everything from realistic baitfish imitations to highly visible attractor patterns for pike, zander, perch and trophy trout. Thanks to the supple leather backing, the strips are easy to tie and remain extremely lively even during slow retrieves.
What are Tiger Barred Zonker Strips?
Tiger Barred Zonker Strips are straight-cut rabbit hide strips with long, naturally soft fur. Unlike standard solid-colour zonkers, these strips feature a unique two-tone base enhanced with bold tiger barring that creates natural contrast and closely resembles the markings found on many baitfish species. The combination of rabbit fur movement and barred colour patterns makes them particularly effective for modern predator streamers.
The soft-tanned leather remains flexible during tying and allows the material to pulse naturally in the water, producing lifelike movement with every strip or current.

FLYFISHING.BG RECOMMENDATIONWhile standard Rabbit Zonker Strips create a clean, natural silhouette, Tiger Barred Zonker Strips add another important element—contrast. The barred two-tone pattern imitates the markings found on many forage fish and produces a stronger visual trigger without sacrificing the unmatched movement of rabbit fur. They are an excellent choice for modern pike, zander and trophy trout streamers whenever you want maximum visibility together with natural swimming action. |
