Cast well ahead of cruising tarpon to ensure the fly settles to their depth before they arrive. Once the fish is in range, use long, smooth strips to glide the fly across their path. If the fish follows but does not commit, try a few short, sharp ticks to pulse the marabou and trigger a reaction. Always be ready to strip set hard,never lift the rod tip,when you feel the line go tight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen To Use It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is your go-to fly for high-sun days and clear water conditions.

The goal is to present the fly as a natural piece of drifting food, so you should cast well ahead of a school of feeding milkfish.
