Comparisons

Since Snowshoe Rabbit Feet is a natural material that floats very well, it's most often compared to CDC. CDC is a feather with natural floating abilities, and Snowshoe Rabbit Feet is a fur, and while they both float very well, Snowshoe Rabbit Feet tends to be a bit more durable and requires less maintenance. Snowshoe Rabbit doesn't require a specific floatant; however, it's not as easily tied in and doesn't have the ability to tie small flies as easily as with CDC. While both have their pros and cons, Snowshoe Rabbit Feet are a good choice whenever you need durable buoyancy.

Example Flies

Snowshoe Rabbit Feet can be used in a ton of different patterns, but the single most popular fly that uses this material is Fran Betters' Usual Dry Fly.
