Great for matukas, zonkers and streamers, especially when you don't need a whole skin's worth or don't want to cut them yourself. There is approx.. 24" of strips
You don’t get much, but I got it to tie flies with a skinnier profile. It is easy to work with and less bulky than rabbit strips if tying smaller flies. So, I like it and will be looking to buy a whole squirrel skin if I find them dyed in the colors I want.

Wapsi Disappoints
I've been ordering pine squirrel strips to tie Barr's Slumpbuster. I've always known Wapsi to produce quality materials. However, I was quite disappointed when I received several orders of Wapsi pine squirrel strips. I discovered short pieces and voids in many of the strips. I had to use some of the short pieces as a separate piece for the collar of the fly. I had to trim other strips to eliminate the voids, which left me little strip to finish the fly.

Disappointed
These are pricey for what you get. The colors are a bit disappointing. The width of the strips is too variable and the length of the fur is short. I know there has to be better pine/red squirrel options in the woods. Years ago I targeted them 🎯
