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).
