The strip is not paper thin. I do not know what the thickness is, but if you put the hook thru the slits that are cut by the factory, you cannot tear the rind off. It is almost as strong as a piece of leather. Somehow, the fish will knock the rind off the hook, but i have got a lot of use out of a jar of rind, just don't let it dry out or it is junk. The jar just need some water with salt in it to keep them fresh.
