i havent made zonkers with it but the flies i have tied have great movement im sure they would be great looking flies
would really undulate in the water...If you do try this.
I'd like to hear the out come Duckster...as I think it would cast like a stocking...a wet one at that..But I am wrong more often than not!
Raccoon "If you can get it Tanned"...Is quite kewl,still a bit stiff but a nice minnow nonetheless,With a stockingly feel in the air after it is well soaked.
Wish ya great fishing,Bill
Though not specifically a Zonker, my favorite bugger is all Arctic Fox.
I find the fox fur to be soft but fuller looking when wet.
Tail: Atctic Fox
Body: A.F underfur (There's plenty in there!)
Hackle: A.F. hair tips via Magic Tool.
Collar: Ditto
Ribbing (optional): small copper wire.
I have never used fox for zonkers, but I do like it for small clousers and buggers. I did find this link that shows one. [url=http://64.176.118.230/arcticfoxzonker.htm:89797]http://64.176.118.230/arcticfoxzonker.htm[/url:89797]
