Note greenfish used the gel type..seems like a good idea....
I don't use to many double bunnies.
But a tip is don't use Brush-on super glue all the way down. I tied a few double bunnies that way and they were useless and stiff as boards. :?
I know that's already been said But I had to put my .02 in anyways.

Start at the end of the strip (skin that is) stick the needle through both strips, up and down with loose stitches, lay the mon across the top of the hook and tie it down, then lay the top layer of zonker across the top and tir it down at the eye. I like to add the Marabou or Guinea color to spice things up.
This is an old Steelheaders trick.:

FG, I followed most of that but when securing the mono to the hook are you wrapping the thread through the fur of the lower strip?

When wet the unjalate (sp) and look sooo kewl. This is by far my go to fly to find the fish. Different colors make all the difference. A tan/White with red flash for a CHUB and check this out....a burnt orange/red off the bottom a great CRAYFISH!
Hey FG,
What is that you are using to hold that fly in the photo? It looks like a bent X-acto knife.
I use Tear Mender glue on the whole length of the strip. It remains very flexible after it cures and does not inhibit the movement of the rabbit strips. It is also a completely water proof glue.
