Pike Terror Articulated Shanks
Articulated Shanks provide your streamers with additional movement. After every strip, the fly will buckle at the articulation, creating an irresistible attraction for predators. Even unweighted flies will show a "jigging" effect. The video below shows our articulated Pike Terror Flies in action.
Application: At first tie the tail of you streamer onto a normal hook (e.g. Partridge Universal Predator). Then thread the hook eye on the open end of an Articulated Shank, clamp the eye of it to the vise and start with a tight base layer of windings all over the shank. We recommend using a head cement or glue to secure these. Proceed as normal with the head on the shank...
If you like fishing with stinger hooks, these shanks are a great base to build off of. A stinger hook is placed at the very and of the fly to generate more hook ups. For that just tie a loop of hard mono or steel onto the shank and rig your stinger hook before fishing. This is a common method for Steelhead streamers that works well for Trout and much more too!
Hint: Use several Articulated Shanks in a row to create big pike streamers with incredible buckling action!
