Quick take
A 12-pack of pheasant tail nymph flies with bead heads in sizes 12-18 on durable Mustad Signature hooks for trout streams.
A bead head take on the Pheasant Tail mayfly nymph, tied on a size 14 hook for trout and panfish. Its pheasant tail body and flashback wingcase make it a fly for a dropper rig beneath a dry, and the bead carries it down toward feeding fish.

About this type
A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.
Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
