How would you like to go after an elephant armed with a BB gun? In theory, that is what we attempt to do when we go after 100-pound-plus tarpon—or any other fish you can see and must quickly cast to before they see you—with a fly rod and a comparatively light leader tippet.Editorial StaffMay 27th, 2022
