Product information "Rio Pro Tarpon Leader 10 ft 30 lbs Class Tippet with Fluoroarbon Shock Tippet 2 pc Pack"

The Rio Pro Tarpon Leader 10 ft with Fluoroarbon Shock Tippet 2 pc Pack has been developed and tested over years with the best guides from the Florida Keys, the Mecca of tarpon fishing. This leader is specifically designed to meet the demands of fishing for tarpon and other hard-fighting saltwater species, offering a combination of rugged tackle and ready-to-use performance. Each leader is handmade from extremely tough, resistant saltwater nylon and ends in a fluorocarbon shock tippet that reliably withstands abrasion and hard escapes.

The Pro Tarpon leader is 10 ft (approx. 3.1 m) long and has been designed to provide a strong energy transfer when casting and to ensure a clean turnover even with large flies. The powerful butt section helps to effectively control wind and larger patterns, while the finer tippet section provides protection for the fly and a smooth strike. At the end, the fluorocarbon shock tippet provides additional protection against sharp structures and powerful escapes of large fish. Due to its robust design, this leader setup is suitable for demanding conditions in shallow flats as well as in open waters.

This 2 pc pack offers two leaders that are ready to use straight from the pack. The construction uses advanced knots that utilise almost the full breaking strength of the materials so you can be confident of reliable connection points. Thanks to years of development and feedback from the best guides in the Florida Keys, this leader is a proven choice for challenging tarpon and other large inshore and offshore species.
