Thanks. Except for Koolaid Ice Blue Raspberry, I only use Rit, and the Golden Yellow has proven to be a very versatile color.

Not sure what's up, but I'm fishing streamers instead of soft hackles.

If you squint they look like soft hackles
Tom -
Are you winding the pine squirrel "leather" around the shank at the eye? I'm a fan of pine squirrel zonker strips.
Are you thinking dubbing loop without the hide?

Holds less water
Yes, I've tied it in before dubbing the body, like a soft hackle, and then one turn. Not sure where I saw that. I like the material movement, and the pine squirrel is the right color pallet for our streams. Really I'm just getting started tying and fishing streamers and such so I'm not really sure what I'm up to. I think the marabou muddler has been better than a regular, and these little jig streamers work to, hang up less, and seem to move well.
I could put it in a loop to make a collar, this one has about a 1/4 wrap undone, to the thread lock.

I have tied a few big rabbit zonker streamers with the "hide" wrapped up the shank or as hide left on tail materials. The rabbit zonkers wrapped up the shank seem heavy to me - retain a lot of water (but then the tungsten beads aren't light either). I like Doctor Magill's idea of trimming the fur and tying it on as dubbing loop collar.
I think I'll give them both a try. I've been looking for heavy, note the chipped bead. Right now it's a bottom game.
