With the increasing popularity of fishing two hand rods to trout on smaller water, these "micro shanks" are great for tying swinging patterns in smaller sizes.  Tie scaled-down articulated flies with lifelike movement, such as Spey trout wet flies, low water steelhead flies, sparse streamer designs, and compact traditional salmon flies. 17mm black shanks, open loop eye at front, and open loop connection at rear, 25 shanks per pack.
