Ken’s Marabou Flats Shrimp is one of those patterns that consistently earns a place in the guide box. The marabou tail comes alive as soon as the fly hits the water, creating natural movement that makes this shrimp imitation especially appealing to wary fish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe body combines natural and synthetic materials to produce a translucent appearance that closely resembles a live shrimp.
