dual taper tarpon leaders

[john]

I've been receiving new FF catalogs over the past few weeks, and noticed Gamma's new Deep Blue tarpon leaders. Has anyone had an opportunity to cast one?

Hi John,

A few years ago I asked another manufacturer to make something like that for us because we have so many baby Tarpon trips in the Yucatan now.

Our Frog Hair (Gamma) Rep, Jason Lozano, brought some samples of the new "Dual Taper" leader a few months back. They should work for baby Tarpon and Snook on an 8/9 weight outfit.

I might still recommend a Rio big game leader with all the exotic knots and a FC shock tippet for use on a #10-12 rod for big Tarpon and Sailfish.
