Bunny flies. But does he wrap it or use fletching cement down the shaft of the hook? I tie albie and bonito flies with Zonker strips both ways.

A little crystal flash, then the zonker strip. Tie it down just like you would bucktail or hackles. Make sure you get the straight zonkers, not the cross cut. The stuff comes alive in any kind of current. Not that it helps me, I can't catch on needles anyway
