The Fish Skull Next Generation Shank (NGS) range represents the next generation of articulated shanks with a focus on improved functionality and ease of use. Provides a single, improved design across the full range of shank sizes making it easier for fly tyers create and tie better, more effective articulated flies such as the Game Changer style flies.
- Triangular Rear Loop - Reduces the gap between interconnected shanks by pulling the shanks closer together resulting in flies with tighter, more integrated bodies. Triangular shape is easier for the jaws of the vise to grip and hold the shank, especially important with the smaller size shanks.
- Stronger than a ring eye, the loop eye eliminates chance of shank failure enabling you to land bigger, stronger fish.
- The “tag end” of the shanks are now extended to run the full length of the shank. This means there are now 3 parallel wire strands creating an even base platform to wrap the thread and materials along the entire length of the shank. Makes it easier to wrap, more precise and overall, much stronger shank.
- Singular design is easier for fly tyers to better understand the articulation concept and tie better, more effective articulated flies across the full spectrum of fly sizes.
