Because emu feathers have a double plume coming from a single shaft, they are highly prized by fly fishermen who tie their own lures. Emu feathers trigger strikes from bass because the feather shape and color is so similar to that of minnows. Because of the unique double plume, the feather will open and close with the water movement, a "breathing action" that is irresistible to bass. Emu feathers also soak up and hold liquid fish attractant for hours.

Quill

Vanes

Rhachis

The lower part of the shaft is called the quill. The upper part of the shaft is called the rhachis. It supports the vanes. The quill is very tiny. The primary and secondary rhachis comes out of it. The reason the emu feather is so soft and flexible is because the vanes are not held together by barbs like on most other bird feathers.
