Master Articulated Flies with the Fish Skull Next Gen Articulated Shank

Tired of complex rigging and loose-bodied articulated flies? Elevate your fly-tying game with the revolutionary Fish Skull Next Gen Articulated Shank, the ultimate component for crafting lifelike, high-performance flies that truly perform.

Unlock Tighter Bodies & Superior Control

The Next Generation Shank (NGS) range redefines ease of use and functionality for serious fly tyers. Its innovative design, developed by Flymen Fishing Company, simplifies the creation of advanced articulated flies like the popular Game Changer style, ensuring

tighter bodies, more precise material application, and significantly enhanced durability for landing those trophy fish.

• Triangular Rear Loop: Pulls shanks closer for integrated, tighter fly bodies and provides a secure grip for your vise.
• Loop Eye: Offers superior strength over traditional ring eyes, eliminating shank failure.
• Extended Wire Tags: Creates a robust, three-strand platform for precise thread and material wraps along the entire shank length.
• Single, Unified Design: Streamlines the understanding and tying of articulated flies across all sizes.
• Multiple Sizes Available: From micro to longer options, find the perfect shank for any articulated fly pattern.

This is the essential upgrade for anyone serious about tying articulated flies that swim better and last longer. While older shanks can be fiddly and result in sloppy fly construction, the Next Gen Shank offers unmatched control for a truly streamlined and powerful fly. You'll immediately notice the difference in how your flies build and how effectively they fish in the water, leading to more aggressive strikes from our prized native and introduced predators. If you're tying Game Changers or any articulated streamer, grab these.
