Im not sure if I have seen one or not. But I wouldnt worry about the material as much as I would worry about the color. What type of lure is it? What color?

I've used what are called "Bunny Strip" jigs. I like the 1/4 oz size. A strip of rabbit fur is tied onto the shank starting at the jig head. The strip moves great in the water when its moved. Can't go wrong with a black or brown jig.

Hey There Henry , I only have a few spinnerbaits with rabbitt hait .. From what i have been told by older bass fishermen is that when spinnerbait bait first hit the market , all of them had rabbit hair and guys use too really enjoy using them .. so as the story goes bait shops couldn't keep these spinners on the shelf due to the high demand for them, and once the word got around that every bass fisherman wanted these baits they finally started making the "rubber skirts" which was faster to make and bait manufactors could distribute them at a quicker rate ... However the oldtimers still felt that the rabbit hair out produced the rubber skirts .. when i have fish with them the only advantage i could see was that when you retreive in a stop and start technic the rabbit hair would give a off a pulsation type movement were as the rubber couldn't .. my advise is too find some and field test it , and see how it compares to what your already catching fish on and report back too us your results ... BBD ....
