Ideal for tying game changers, baitfish imitations, and other articulated flies. Easy-to-use design for seamless integration into your fly tying process. KEY FEATURES 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. Loop eye Stronger than a ring eye, the loop eye eliminates chance of shank failure enabling you to land bigger, stronger fish. Extended Wire tags The “tag end” of the shanks are extended to run the full length of the shank. This means there are three parallel wire strands creating an even base platform to wrap the thread and materials along the entire length of the shank. Making it easier to wrap, more precisely and providing a much stronger shank. SIngle Design Easier for fly tyers to better understand the articulation concept and tie better, more effective articulated flies across the full spectrum of fly sizes.
