Smelling Salt

$6.99

The Smelling Salt was designed with the laid up tarpon in mind, with a soft landing presentation, foul preventing mono loop under the tail, and neutral buoyancy for a perfect fishing fly. Inspired by the Tarpon Bunny. This pattern is ideal for the fisherman that doesn’t necessarily want to purchase “tarpon specific” patterns, and would rather buy patterns that will work for other species such as snook and redfish.
