Here is an interesting video on YouTube making "feather rigs" for shore fishing in salt water. The main target species was mackerel. The same pattern, or a similar one, might work well on stripers, wipers, white bass and more warm water species. This could easily migrate to the fly rod.

Using the metal off a coke can can make good fry patterns. Field & Stream had a bluegill fry pattern using metal from cans about 40 years ago.
