EP Tarpon Special
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.
