Nice. I need to try to tie a couple articulated streamers. I read the post in the WW section about the "gamechanger" fly. Lol. I think the name is a little over the top, but it is a cool idea to use multiple articulation points.

The step that makes me nervous about these patterns is tying in a mono loop to attach the second hook/articulated spine to. Is just tying it in like any other material really strong enough if a fish takes the hook at the end of the pattern? How do you attach everything together?

Nice fly, I have yet to tie an articulated streamer.

have you ever tied them with heavy mono-filament .

I like how you made your own wire- articulated section. They sell them but Seem a bit high priced for all they are.

Ok so if I'm seeing that correctly... You attached the back hook to the spine with tying thread, and attached the front hook to the spine with tying thread also? And that's strong enough to hold a decent sized fish that takes the back hook?

Can I get some with bigger barbs?

here are a few ways to set up your shanks:
All depends on what species you are after and if you want 1, 2, or even 3 hooks. (max Pa. allows).
