Tarpon

Tarpon Buggs 3.0 have been designed and will get made in 2025.  I'm working hard to have them ready for the summer.  They're made for Tarpon feeding new the surface.  Definitely start with them when they're available.  Until then...

BuggTail Jigs will definitely get eaten by Tarpon.  They imitate bait fish and absolutely look alive in the water.   They're tied with a weed guard to shed grass.

2^nd Gen. Trout Thumpers are also baitfish imitations, and they fall more slowly than BuggTail Jigs.  They have great action in the water and will definitely fool Tarpon.

2^nd Gen. Curl-Tail Redfish Jigs (Curl-Tails for short) are our best selling jigs.  Don't let the name fool you.  Shallow water Tarpon will crush them!  A few years back I heard from a guide in South Texas that couldn't get Tarpon to eat anything else.  She tied on a Hot Pink Curl-Tail and caught them.  She's not the only one, either.  Sometimes a Curl-Tail is what they want.  They always land hook point up, so you can bump them along the bottom or swim them.  Give them some twitches as you swim them and you'll engage the rattles on the bottom.  These clicks, along with the action from the double-tail grub trailer, really gets the job done.

Let's say you're seeing fish chasing small shrimp or glass minnows...

Click-Bait Shrimp imitate small shrimp and are super weedless.  They land softly and work great both blind casting and sight casting.  You have to keep them moving, however.  I prefer a straight retrieve when casting to feeding fish, and to mix in twitches when blind casting.

Click-Bait Minnows imitate glass minnows and are super weedless as well.  They land softly and work great both blind casting and sight casting.  You also have to keep them moving.  I prefer a straight retrieve when casting to feeding fish, and to mix in twitches when blind casting.

Bonefish Jigs for Tarpon are Excellent Finesse Options. They'll always land hook point up, and look alive just sitting on the bottom.

Flats Buggs imitate several different types of bait.

Hot Head Buggs and Loco Buggs imitate small shrimp.

Bitty Buggs imitate small crabs.

Permital Buggs and Permit Adams Buggs also imitate crabs.

Puff Buggs imitate really small bait.

Fish these in really skinny water and when they're chasing small bait.  Or fish them for the fun of it.  Tarpon will eat them!

I'm considering adding heavier Tarpon jigs down the road.  Please reach out and let me know about the weights and colors you'd be interested in.
