Capt Bob LeMay 0 Report post Posted August 3, 2023 That Black Mamba in a larger size would be a deadly pattern for big tarpon holding in rivers that drain out of the Everglades... We use something similar -the small one is done up on an Owner Aki 2/0 hook (five to five and a half inches overall) -the big one, six to seven inches long on a 4/0 hook... The gear? a 10wt for the small size and a 12wt for the large one, each set up with a full Intermediate fly line... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
