FLYMEN FISH SKULL
SHRIMP & CRAY TAILS
GOLD - MEDIUM
The Fish-Skul Shrimp & Cray Tail is a stainless-steel weight molded in the shape of crustacean tails. They are quick and easy to tie. The Shrimp & Cray Tail is a simple alternative to bead chain eyes and dumbbells – two general-purpose fly tying materials which add the needed weight to shrimp and crayfish flies, but require ungainly tying methods and lack the distinctive tail profile of these creatures.
Target both saltwater and freshwater fish, from bonefish, permit, stripers, speckled trout, and redfish, to carp, smallmouth bass, and other warm-water species. Available in the following sizes :
Small - Fits hook sizes #8 and #6.
Has the same weight and width as a small bead chain.
Quantity per pack : 20
Medium - Fits hook sizes #4 and #2.
Has the same weight and width as a large bead chain.
Quantity per pack : 20
Large - Fits hook sizes #2, #1, and larger.
Has approximately the same weight as most small dumbbells.
Quantity per pack : 15
Quick and easy to tie
No more figure-8 wraps and no more twisting. Simply tie in the Shrimp & Cray Tail™ directly in line with the hook shank and slightly behind the hook eye, then tie in the rest of your materials.
Realistic look and shape
Your completed fly will have a better finish and more realistic profile because the Shrimp & Cray Tail™ is molded after the true shape of crustacean tails.
Ensure your fly tracks correctly
The Shrimp & Cray Tail™ acts as a weighted keel by distributing most of the tail’s weight to the bottom of the fly (like a bead chain or dumbbell), ensuring it will swim in the correct position. This also allows you to tie with the hook facing either down or up.
Stable base
The shape of the tail acts almost as a tripod to provide a stable base for your fly to stand upon, which means (unlike bead chain eyes) your fly is less likely to fall on its side while laying motionless on the sand waiting to be stripped.
Trigger the strike
The initial strip of the fly can produce the telltale "puff" of sand or silt, similar to that of an escaping shrimp or crayfish bursting out of cover, to catch the attention of the fish you're targeting.
Stainless steel
Gives your fly the same weight you would expect from a bead chain or small dumbbell, allowing a predictable sink rate.
Combined postage for multiple items offered.
Make your purchases and I will send a combined invoice. You will only pay the postage price of the largest item and everything else will be sent with it at no extra charge.
I operate this small business in an aim to provide fly fishers with the tools and materials needed for chasing trout in all waters. I choose the range of products to stock and sell from the items I use myself and items I just love. I am a real fly fishing tragic that has fully understood the concept that this is a sport of accessories. I am always looking for new toys and tools to take out onto the river and those that I can readily supply will be available here for you too.
I photograph every item I sell so you can see them in the listing as they will arrive. I think it is important to understand just what you are getting and not to rely on a stock photo that may not truly represent the actual item.
All feather products that are individually photographed are numbered so when you purchase that item, you get the exact feathers shown in the photos. I think it is important to get the item you see shown in the picture when choosing feathers.
Thanks for looking.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me by email and I will get back to you as soon as I am free, and not out on the river.
