Striped bass over thirty pounds did not get there eating salads. They eat bunker -- adult menhaden the size of your hand -- and they eat them with the table manners of a Viking. The Grocery Fly is tied to match that meal: articulated, oversized, and pushing enough water to register on a fish's lateral line from across the rip. Casting it requires commitment. Landing what eats it requires a chiropractor.

Tied by Ben Whalley
Bob Popovics' masterpiece. Hollow-tied bucktail creates a large profile that casts surprisingly well. The definitive striper fly for imitating herring, bunker, and other large baitfish.

Epoxy-coated baitfish imitation. Nearly indestructible. Sinks fast and flashes through the water column. The bluefish-proof fly.

#1 - #2/0 (tied long, 4-6 inches)
A long, slender sand eel imitation made from a single saddle hackle wrapped around the shank. Incredibly simple construction creates a remarkably realistic sand eel profile in the water.

#1/0 - #3/0
A wide-profile baitfish pattern with a large, flat head that pushes water and creates a strong pressure wave. Designed for dark conditions and dirty water where stripers hunt by feel.

#1/0 - #4/0 (5-8 inches)
A classic Northeast style originated by Ken Abrames. Saddle hackles tied flat create an undulating, breathing profile that is impossible to achieve with bucktail. The thinking person's striper fly.
