This is a custom shank I designed to increase the tie-able shank length for large weedless baitfish patterns designed for Keel/Texas style hooks. The shank makes tying easier and give you the ability to build bulk and taper over a larger area without crowding and over-bulking the hook eye, and it simply increases your freedom when tying on this style of hook. The shank is inspired by Bill Sherer of We Tie it Fly Shop and below you can find a link to his shank bending RU-vid video, which is far more informational than my demo.
