The Pilchard is a pilchard imitation on a 2/0 hook from Enrico Puglisi. Pilchards, also called sardines, are a primary forage fish for tarpon and many other inshore predators.
Fish it where bait schools gather, around bridges, inlets, and flats edges. Match the strip speed to the mood of the fish, from slow and wounded to fast and fleeing.
Vary your retrieve speed and rhythm until follows turn into committed strikes.
