Elite Saltwater Tarpon & Baby Tarpon Fly Pattern

When you are hunting silver kings in backcountry rivers or pitching along mangrove edges, the EP Tarpon Special is the definitive choice for your box. This legendary, proven pattern is meticulously designed to mimic the natural, enticing movement of shallow-water forage, making it absolutely irresistible to both mature Atlantic tarpon and aggressive baby tarpon.

Measuring a perfectly profiled 3 inches on a heavy-duty size #1/0 hook, this fly sheds water instantly on the backcast to keep your presentation light and your loops tight. Whether you opt for the subtle, sandy hues of Suspended Shrimp Tan or the vibrant contrast of Camarones Al Cocos, its lifelike silhouette and fluid underwater action trigger immediate, instinctual strikes from selective predators.

Key Features:

  • Proven Backcountry Profile: A highly effective 3" silhouette engineered specifically for mangrove lines, tidal creeks, and flats.

  • Premium Tying Materials: Masterfully constructed using a high-tier blend of EP® Foxy Brush, EP® Tarantula Brush, premium rabbit strips, and shimmering Crystal Blue EP® Sparkle.

  • Realistic Detailing: Finished with durable EP Crab & Shrimp Eyes to create an authentic, lifelike baitfish or shrimp illusion.

  • Heavy-Duty Saltwater Hardware: Tied on an ultra-sharp, corrosion-resistant Gamakatsu SL12S Big Game Wide Gap hook to withstand explosive jumps and grueling fights.

  • Effortless Casting: Synthetic fiber body sheds water immediately, allowing for quick, accurate presentations even in windy coastal environments.

Specifications:

  • Fly Size: #1/0 (Approx. 3" length)

  • Color Schemes Available: Suspended Shrimp Tan, Camarones Al Cocos
