Metal Tails

Welcome to the Product Spotlight on the innovative Fish-Skull® Shrimp & Cray Tail where we encourage you to learn what is possible with this innovative fly tying product.    

The Shrimp & Cray Tail™ is a metal weight molded in the shape of a shrimp or crayfish tail. It is quick-and-easy to tie with and provides a simple, better alternative to using old-style bead chain eyes and dumbbells to add weight to shrimp and crayfish fly patterns.

 

We provide a number of resources for you to learn, tie and fish flies using this product.
