Description

Tarpon are known for being picky but they seem to love these bold rabbit fur patterns which kick off irresistible movement the moment they hit the water. Tarpon are also known for their ability to bend, break and slip hooks and that’s why we've taken no chances and linked these patterns up with the mighty and highly respected Owner Aki hooks. Honestly, if your lucky enough to hook into a big tarpon, don't let it be on some second rate hook! Size: 4/0

Field Notes

This is a saltwater fly pattern designed for tarpon, especially when fish are keyed in on larger baitfish or need a bold profile to trigger strikes. Fish it with a steady strip retrieve or short erratic strips to make the rabbit fur pulse and breathe in the water.

Pros

  • Bold profile and strong movement from rabbit fur
  • Rigged on a heavy-duty Owner Aki hook for big tarpon
  • Good visibility and contrast

Cons

  • Not a general-purpose fly
  • Large profile may be less effective on very small bait
