Description
The Black Death Tarpon Fly is a legendary saltwater pattern designed to entice the mighty tarpon. Its sleek and durable design mimics a variety of prey such as baitfish or small crustaceans, making it highly effective in both clear and murky waters. Its black and red color combination provides excellent visibility and a bold silhouette that triggers aggressive strikes from tarpon, especially in low-light conditions.
Pro Tip
When fishing the Black Death, focus on presenting the fly with a slow and deliberate strip, allowing it to pulse naturally in the water. Pay attention to the tarpon’s behavior—sometimes a slight pause in the retrieve will provoke a committed strike. Be prepared for powerful runs and ensure your knots and leader are up to the challenge.
