There is CROSSED CUT strips that as labeled, is cross cut from the pelt. The fibers lay to one side, great for collars or wrapping the whole hook.
Zonker, the fibers lay back, more for tails. There is MAGNUM ZONKER STRIPS that are wider strips. Awesome for bigger flies.
You can cut your own from a pelt, but I have a hard time doing it as I end up cutting the hair also, so, I opt for the easy way.
Orvis carries a fantastic line of Zonker and Magnum Zonker, as does Hareline.
I do notice the packages at like SPORTSMAN's getting smaller, which is a bummer, so I have my favorite supply. Jimmy's in Idaho Falls, Portneuf River Fly (Roger) in Pocatello, Fish Tech in Salt Lake and The Fly Desk (Dennis) in Salt Lake. All these shops will ship also.
