Tarpon bunnies are great flies for both tarpon and snook. They provide a lot of movement in the water and are one of my go to flies for tarpon.

Nice , I like the color combo and would be interested to hear how the purple and black zonker strip worked out . The past week I’ve been tying a bunch of different Tarpon flies and did a version of this but instead of a zonker strip I used Finn Raccoon , it swims really good and doesn’t seem to hold water as much . Thanks for sharing

This fly worked great on tarpon and snook. Finn raccoon and Arctic fox zonker a would both do well on this fly. You could also cut a strip off a craft fur or pseudo hair patch and get the same result with a synthetic which will hold less water if that is a goal.

Why wouldn't you turn the barred bunny strip down?

Up or down I have never known it to effect the bite from a tarpon or snook. You can tie it both way depending what looks best to you but tying fur up it is easier to find the hole for the foul guard to pass through.
