Chocklett Factory Game Changer Shanks
25 SHANKS IN A PACK – The Original Game Changer Design
The Game Changer shank design has become the foundation of modern multi-articulated fly patterns—or as I like to call them, "vertebrae." When I first set out to make a fly swim like a real fish, I experimented with countless methods to achieve that natural, serpentine motion. After many failed attempts, I took a step back and asked: What truly makes a fish swim?
The answer came down to three key elements: muscle, fins, and—most critically—the vertebrae. Using a wire bender and stainless steel wire, I began tinkering with different lengths to match the swimming motion to the size of the fly or bait.
The result was a total game changer—not just for my fly designs, but for my entire approach to fishing. From that discovery, the Game Changer fly was born—and since then, big fish haven’t stood a chance.
These shanks are built for all types of articulated flies and will deliver proven results on the water. I guarantee they'll Change Your Game.
Key features:
-
Closed-eye design: Prevents the eye from opening under pressure, helping you avoid lost fish.
-
Optimized wire gauge and loop spacing: Keeps the shank light, strong, and offers maximum movement for realistic swimming action.
-
Full-length wire returns: Ensure a clean, stable tying platform from end to end.
Whether you're tying a Game Changer or your own innovative patterns, these shanks provide the backbone for lifelike, articulated movement that gets results.
