Great job. It will definetly fish. Great job on the head, it looks alive.

You could use mono for the legs . Lots can be done with mono and it is very durable.

Fred is right ( can be bent with a heated bodkin & build on that; also Plastic Broom Bristles (from an old tent whisk broom, or Japanese nymph legs you can build on that) !!! I like the legs to be flexible if it is for fishing (gives it good life in the water & makes for a nice stike trigger) !!!
