A couple of weeks ago I made up an articulated shank from a paper clip in response to a thread on this board. It has been setting at the base of my vice since then until I decided to get it out of there today. Having no other plan in mind I just combined two of my favorite smallmouth flies. The front half is basically a Shenk's minnow and the back half is a Gartsides soft hackle streamer. The combination looks good to me.
