Eric Gill –
I’ve been fishing on the flats for years and this assortment has proven to be a game-changer. The Tarpon Toad and Punisher patterns caught several fish in a single day. The waterproof box keeps the flies dry and organized, which is a big plus in wet conditions.
Christian King –
The flies match the tarpon behavior well. I used the Black Death and Chewy’s Tarponator on a recent trip and saw good results. The packaging is solid and the flies stay intact even after being exposed to rain.
Julian Hudson –
This is exactly what I needed for my tarpon season. The variety of patterns and the quality of the tying make it easy to match what the fish are feeding on. The box is compact and fits well in my fly box.
Peter Sanderson –
I’ve tried several tarpon fly sets before, but this one stands out for its balance of colors and patterns. The Punisher in chartreuse worked well in low light. I’d recommend it to anyone targeting tarpon in flatwater.
Joanne Edmunds –
The flies are well-made and the colors are accurate. I used the Tarpon Snake and Keys Toad on a morning trip and caught a large tarpon. The waterproof container keeps everything dry and accessible.
