FLYMEN Next Generation Shank – articulated streamer shanks
FLYMEN Fish-Skull Next Generation Shanks (NGS) are specialist fly-tying shanks designed for articulated streamers and multi-segment fly patterns, including Game Changer-style flies. Interconnected shanks create a flexible body that can bend and move naturally as the fly is retrieved.
- Triangular rear loop – draws connected segments closer together and is easier to grip in a fly-tying vise.
- Strong loop eye – designed for a secure articulated connection.
- Three parallel wire strands – form an even, stable platform for thread wraps and tying materials along the shank.
- Segmented construction – ideal for articulated baitfish and streamer patterns.
- Three sizes available: 35, 65 and 80 mm.
Why choose Next Generation Shanks?
Large streamers do not need to be tied on a single long hook. Connecting several shanks lets you build a longer fly with a freely moving segmented body. The triangular rear loop helps reduce the gaps between segments, while extended wire tags give thread and tying materials a consistent base along the shank.
