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.

Classic Keys tarpon pattern. Grizzly hackle over natural deer hair. The pattern that launched a thousand tarpon trips and has been catching silver kings since before catch-and-release was fashionable.

An all-black tarpon fly with a rabbit strip tail and schlappen collar. Deadly in low-light conditions and dirty water. The fly you reach for when the silver kings are being difficult.

A tarpon fly in an unlikely color that works uncommonly well. Purple and black with flash. Particularly effective in the early morning and late afternoon light of the channels.

Enrico Puglisi's EP fiber tarpon pattern. The synthetic fibers shed water, cast effortlessly, and create a translucent baitfish profile that tarpon cannot ignore.
