Tarpon
Please notice: LeaderCalc hasn't been optimized for small screens. Turning some devices horizontally might make it easier to use, but using a suitably large screen is the best solution.
Category: SaltwaterA general but fairly long tarpon leader. We're getting out the big guns here! Notice that the tippet is extra heavy Fluorocarbon for bite resistance (Bt. = Bite tippet). Tying this bit onto the last tapered bit of the leader is usually done with a Bimini knot (AKA Bimini twist).
