More About Articulated Fly Shanks

Articulated shanks are a staple of modern streamer tying, letting tyers build longer flies with articulated movement. What began with the simple, straight Waddington shanks of decades past has evolved into a deep category of options for multi-section flies.

Choosing articulated shanks

  • Many lengths and colors to fine-tune the size of articulated patterns.
  • Versions with jig-angled eyes for point-up presentations.
  • J. Stockard Waddington Shanks for a dependable straight-shank base.
  • Specialized shanks from Flymen Fishing and Articulated Shank Selection Boxes from Spawn that supply a full range of lengths.

That variety helps tyers control the size and movement of articulated patterns, from compact two-part streamers to large, multi-section flies built for predatory species. For a step-by-step look at building on shanks, see our full-dressed feather Game Changer tutorial, and our Dream Seller articulated streamer pattern shows how to join sections with articulation wire and beads.

What is a Waddington shank?

A Waddington shank is a straight wire shank with a loop at the rear, used to build the body of a fly ahead of a trailing hook for articulated movement.
