Rabbit fur in saltwater seems like a poor decision until you see what it does underwater. The Tarpon Bunny swims with a sinuous, serpentine action that no synthetic material has successfully replicated, despite decades of trying. When stripped through a tarpon channel, the fur pulses and breathes like something genuinely alive, and tarpon -- being the prehistoric eating machines they are -- respond accordingly. The engineering is elegant. The results are violent.
