Fish Skull Articulated Shanks 20 mm

Articulated Shanks 20 mm

The Articulated Shanks 20 mm is an innovative fly tying material designed to simplify the tying of articulated flies. This general purpose articulated shank can be used as a simple component in many different styles of articulated flies such as single-hook and two-hook articulated streamers, poppers and sliders. It can also be used for streamers using a free-swinging stinger hook such as Intruder-style salmon and steelhead flies. ● Quick-and-simple tying process. ● Increases tail action in your fly. ● Increases the overall length of the fly. ● Reduces the leverage a hooked fish typically places on a fly. ● Eliminates the need to “sacrifice a hook” to make a shank. ● 20 Shanks per pack. ● Typically for streamer flies 3″ (7.5cm) and longer. ● Wire diameter fits hook sizes starting from about #4 up to 3/0. ● Will fit the Fish-Skull™ (SM, M and L sizes) and the Fish-Skull™ Sculpin Helmet. ● The high strength, stainless spring steel shank can be used in saltwater.
