I like ostrich and emu. It gives a nice, frilly body to small critter flies. And the quills make nice tails.

Interesting these are supposed to mimic Odonata nymphs, which generally look like this:

But, they are swimmy and buggy enough to look like something yummy to a fish. And they are your typically tidy works of art. I bet something will get fooled by those.

PS Whats a shrimp hook?
