Umpqua’s XS415H BN5X Tarpon is a straight-eye tarpon hook with a wide gape and an X-heavy build. It’s a good match for tarpon patterns that need a stout hook and room at the bend.
Umpqua lists this hook with a forged bend and a micro-barb. Those details point to a hook meant to stay put once it finds purchase, rather than anything aimed at light-wire applications. We stock it in size #1/0.
