Fish Skull Articulated Shank

Articulated streamers, simplified.

Designed by Martin Bawden.

The Fish Skull Articulated Shank, innovative, multipurpose material is a key component for tying different styles of articulated streamers, such as single-hook and double-hook articulated streamers, poppers, and sliders, as well as in streamers that use a free-swinging stinger hook, such as intruder-style salmon and steelhead flies.
