Major Herring - Black/Blue/Gray - Size 3/0
Description
Tom Kintz' Major Herring is apart of a series of flies that were crafted up to imitate Bunker, Herring, Sardines and Mullet. Each pattern contains the trademark large Doll Eyes with a floating pupil that really seem to grab stripers and albacore tuna's attention. Due to its large and wide nature it creates a silhouette that perfectly mimics these wide-bodied baitfish of the Atlantic. Success rates seem to go up when fishing a heavy sinking line and a rather short leader no longer than 8 feetHook/Thread: TMC 811S (or similar)/UTC 210 Denier
