Straight Eye Shanks - 22mm/32mm

Straight Eye Shanks - Qty. 10

Tin Plated Straight Eye Shanks are purpose-built for tying articulated streamers, baitfish patterns, poppers, and flies that use a rear stinger or trailer hook. They give fly tyers a clean, consistent platform without needing to cut sacrificial hooks, saving time and eliminating concerns about sharp cut ends, rough edges, or burrs.

The straight eye design makes it easy to build balanced flies with clean connection points, while the tin-plated finish adds durability and corrosion resistance for freshwater, sea-run cutthroat, salmon, steelhead, and saltwater fly tying applications.

Sizes

22mm – Trout Shank
The 22mm size is ideal for trout streamers, smaller articulated flies, Dalai Lamas, compact baitfish patterns, and other trout flies tied with a stinger or trailer hook. It is also a great option for sea-run cutthroat patterns, including Miyawaki-style Poppers, small surface flies, shrimp patterns, fry patterns, and compact saltwater baitfish flies. This size is perfect when you want movement and rear hook placement without adding unnecessary length or bulk.

32mm – Salmon, Steelhead & Saltwater Shank
The 32mm size is built for larger articulated patterns, including stinger Clouser Minnows, saltwater baitfish flies, salmon streamers, and a wide range of steelhead patterns. The longer shank provides more room for larger patterns while keeping the hook positioned farther back in the fly.
