Striped Marlin Guide Fly — 5” unweighted sardina variant

By Rudy Babikian, submitted by adamcu280.

Description

I followed Rudy’s YouTube video and made some slight variations to downsize and added a bit of flash and eyes. This one's unweighted tan over white with some pearl in the tail and a hot pink "gill" accent. Pretty sure anything that eats smaller fish would eat this. I'm going to tie up some more in other colors and sizes.
