by Chuck Hawkins

The lifelike motion, rubber legs, and dumbbell eyes on the Hawkins Triple Double rabbit-strip streamer make it a vicious addition to your streamer arsenal.   Tie your own or buy a few from Orvis online.

On top of the bucktail tie in an olive zonker strip in the middle of the strip creating a tail and leaving enough to cover the top of the hook.

Underneath where honker strip is tied in tie two cross cut rabbit strips, white and pink

With out overlapping the leather, wrap the strips forward to the eyes. This requires you to wind the strips at a  sharp angle to the hook. Take over the eyes and one under then tie it off

Cut strips off very close to wraps

Tie is tips (each end) of the rubber legs

Bring the zonker strip over the top of the fly and tie it in at the eye. Minimize the amount being tied down to avoid bulk

On top of zonker strip tie in 3 or 4 strands of pearl flashabou and fold it over.
