This whole rush on green label herring has me puzzled. If I understand correctly they aren't the largest, and they aren't the smallest, and it has nothing to do with the herring quality.

Is it really possible that Springers are that sensitive about bait size that they overwhelmingly take these sized bait over the others? Or is it one of those instances where it's kind of a fad for the anglers? Kind of like the "What do you catch more fish on" thread, where because so many people are fishing green label that they are naturally catching most of the fish.

I feel like if you offer one size up or down in the right way that the fish will hit it regardless, but I look forward to any insight offered.
