They will swim on their own as you probably already know. No stripping needed with those babies, just a little twitch of the rod when in the strike zone. Feel the pluck....wait to feel the weight....tightlines!! FYI - I got some of those rhea feathers and few ostrich as well. Some like the wispy black hackles too, but they are white. Gorgeous artwork that is also fishable and functional. I just want to tie some flies now, I can't go back to work:) LOL ~ Frank Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
