Hi,
in the wake of those peacock jigs, I am enjoying rising request for tropical stuff from travellers. Now a customer asked for tarpon jigs. Its a simple tie but from what I´ve heard they are not easy to hook to say the least.
The guy referred to "Owner saltwater xxx strong roundhead" hooks. Couldn`t find an equivalent on Barlows so I would like to know if anyone has a good source or alternative.
I have to say I got along well with large 32833NP-BN Mustads so far but was a bit intimidated when he started talking about 200lbs fish making 800yrd runs etc. Destination is Mexico, low pressure, big specimen, serious business.
