any body braid or dubbing on the shank

 

No, just a thread base. These flies are tied opaque. You could, of course, make them much sparser. That might be a good place to try a flashy body.

 

Thanks for the tip, M.Sax. I didn't ever consider using the backing. I like the toughness and color (Smoke) of the Fireline.

Nice flies..is the articulated reference to the brand of shanks?

 

I always assumed articulated referenced the joining of two items with a hinge Aka a jointed rapala..

 

Just wondering..

 

I hope u fish these up in pulaski and come tight..its a very sporting way to catch those awesome bows ..not a numbers game in the least but quality catching them on the swing high in the water column..kinda brings up the players

In this case, "articulated" refers to the name of the shank. You can certainly slide a hook eye onto the back end of them, and that is clearly the primary purpose of their design.

 

But you can use anything for any purpose you see fit.
