Ed -
You're right, it's the ostrich that I have. The best pattern has been to cover
a large, say size 4, tmc 200R with a very closely overlapped progression of the
web. This, with some silicone strands as a tail and a bright red head of seal
and glitter like EP sparkle has been very attractive to rainbows and bass
alike.
They have a very noticeable pulsating appearance in the water. I suspect
you've seen that with your soft hackles.
