Description

This is the original, bunny strip Toad designed by Gary Merriman (Fish Hawk, Atlanta). After several years, the only difference is minor; today's Toad is generally tied and fished slightly smaller than originally designed. And yes the rabbit strip is correct, tied skin-side up. Tarpon see the strip from below the fly. The Toad II has the marabou tail. One of the two version (bunny or marabou) is the very fly shown in the mouths of all tarpon in every magazine add and has been the winning fly (especially when fished by Andy Mill) in more tournaments and is well known by every guide in tarpon-land. It is the hottest pattern of all time for tarpon in the Keys and beyond.
