Tarpon
Category: Saltwater
A general but fairly long tarpon leader. We're getting out the big guns here! Notice that the tippet is extra heavy Fluorocarbon for bite resistance (Bt. = Bite tippet). Tying this bit onto the last tapered bit of the leader is usually done with a Bimini knot (AKA Bimini twist).

Long story short
Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.
Long story longer
The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
