{"product_id":"262-umpqua-linville-tarpon-leader","title":"Umpqua Linville Tarpon Leader","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Linville Tarpon leaders are built to a proven formula designed to catch large tarpon quickly and safely—without compromise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for anglers who want to fish within an IGFA-style framework, they provide a consistent, reliable system that supports both performance and progression on the water. Whether you’re chasing your first tarpon or refining your approach, these leaders remove the guesswork and give you a repeatable foundation to build from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design starts with a nylon butt section that keeps the leader riding high and turning over cleanly. From there, it steps down in stiffness to a precisely measured class section, before connecting to the shock with improved blood knots—tied to preserve strength while staying compact and out of the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“The knots are impressively tied—how Umpqua achieves that level of consistency is something that stood out to me right away. It’s a level of detail that matters when you’re connected to a fish.”\u003c\/em\u003e — Nathaniel Linville\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese leaders are the result of years spent refining the smallest details—because in tarpon fishing, the smallest details are often the difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“A leader isn’t the exciting part of fly fishing—but it’s the part that connects you to the fish. How it’s built determines how strong that connection is.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e— Nathaniel Linville\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable in both Pink and Clear\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e12\/50 lb\u003cbr\u003e16\/60 lb\u003cbr\u003e20\/80 lb\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Umpqua","offers":[{"title":"Clear \/ 13 Feet \/ 80 Pound","offer_id":47435805294761,"sku":"59434","price":27.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Pink \/ 13 Feet \/ 80 Pound","offer_id":47435814895785,"sku":"59437","price":27.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1017\/0133\/files\/262-umpqua-linville-tarpon-leader-clear-01.jpg?v=1789838443","url":"https:\/\/www.tcoflyfishing.com\/products\/262-umpqua-linville-tarpon-leader","provider":"TCO Fly Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
