Full details
This guide is for anglers looking to enhance their fly fishing with the Mikael Frodin Greenlander Hitch Tube. These specialized tube flies are designed to create a subtle 'V' wake on the water's surface, attracting fish. A key benefit is the ability to target surface-feeding fish with precision. However, these flies are most effective when fished with a micro hitch, which requires some practice to master. The Mikael Frodin Greenlander Hitch Tube comes in two sizes, 1.5cm and 3cm, and is an excellent tool for anglers looking to add surface presentations to their fly fishing arsenal.

FAQs
What is a micro hitch?
A micro hitch is a specific fishing technique used to present the tube fly on or just under the surface of the water, creating a wake to attract fish.
What size hook should I use?
The hook size depends on the size of the tube fly. Use a hook that is compatible with the 1.5cm or 3cm size.
Can I use this fly in saltwater?
Yes, you can use the fly in saltwater, but rinse it thoroughly after each use to prevent corrosion.
What kind of fish can I catch with this fly?
This fly is best suited for catching fish that feed on the surface. Examples include trout, salmon, and other surface-feeding species.
How do I attach the fly to my leader?
Use a knot suitable for tube flies. The specific knot will depend on your preference and the leader material.
What if the 'V' wake isn't forming?
Adjust the angle of your presentation or experiment with your retrieve speed.
Is the hook included?
No, the hook is not included. You must provide your own hook.
