Articulated fly-tying shanks that bring lifelike motion and a segmented profile to your streamers and anadromous patterns. Built for tiers who want reliable articulation and a natural swimming action, these shanks make it easy to create convincing bodies that move independently from the hook point.
-
Realistic articulation: Precision joints allow independent movement between sections, producing subtle tail action and a dynamic silhouette in the water.
-
Easy to rig: Designed for straightforward assembly with common tying materials—dubbing, tinsel, thread, and shellbacks—so you can focus on pattern and presentation.
-
Versatile application: Ideal for streamers and anadromous species patterns, offering enhanced attraction for trout, steelhead, salmon, and other aggressive feeders.
-
Durable construction: Engineered to withstand repeated casting and strikes while maintaining articulation and shape.
-
Options for many patterns: Offered in a range of finishes and configurations to suit different tying styles and target species.
Whether you’re dialing in a classic baitfish profile or experimenting with segmented, articulated bodies, these shanks provide the movement and reliability needed to elevate your fly tying.
