    Best surf paddle tail out there

    Let me start with saying these are the easiest on the fingers to cast. Heavy lures with the wight all in the head are taxing to cast but this one is not whatsoever. The plastic is tough and holds up to

    tarpon very well and can even survive cudas. The hooks surprise me the most. They stay sharp for quite a few fish before you need to re sharpen.

    Great Baits!

    I was turned on to these lures by a friend and they’re great.

    I target stripers in creeks and rivers in Alabama.

How To: Fish Inlets & Deep Water Tarpon (Stuart, FL)

Inlets and passes offer the perfect combination of forage, current, structure, and passageways between the ocean and inland waterways. There is a good chance that tarpon will be available at nearly any Florida coastal inlet or pass at some point during their annual migration. Generally speaking, inlets and passes feature deep water and fast-moving currents, requiring anglers to deploy a heavier range of presentations to appropriately cover the water column.

The subtle action of this swimbait proved effective when fished on a high-speed retrieve.
