Badger
S.S. Flies
$5.99
The Badger is a pretty basic, low-profile tarpon fly with splayed tails whose design is committed to imitating shrimp in two ways: the use a pair of long white albino peacock barbules for antenna and tying in two epoxy eyes off the back. Prodigious use of badger fur gives the fly life, body, and substance without being overly bulky. The Badger Tarpon Fly is tied with the Keys in mind, but this classic profile and colors have also been consistently effective in the Yucatan.
