This article will show you how to catch Tarpon with artificial lures. We have already covered the Dr. Fish's Saltwater GT Popper, MirrOlure 77M twitch bait, and the X-Rap 3-inch 1/4-ounce clear jig. Each of these fly actions is unique and works well.
XRap Twitchin’ Mollet
If you are looking to catch tarpon by using artificial lures, you will likely use a mullet imitation. However, you're going to have to fish a little differently in the open waters than you would in saltwater. You'll want to suspend your bait ten to fifteen feet in front of the rolling fish and work it slowly with a series of twitches. Morris recommends that you take a short pause and then follow it up with a three second pause. Then, if you are retrieving erratically Morris suggests changing to a two count. This will make your bait seem like an easy meal to the Tarpon.
This red-white bunker-colored mullet is a good choice for deep-water fishing. This bait buster features a small, hollow body which allows for better hookups. It can sit on top of the tarpon's lip and flutter while it swims. This bait is great for deep-water fishing.

Fishing for tarpon requires a medium to heavy spinning reel and a rod that is long enough to carry it. Waszczuk recommends braided, 40-50-pound line. You can pick the weight of your line according to the size and shape of your Tarpon. For hooking, you can add a fluoro leader to the terminal end of your line and work your bait slowly with the tip of your rod. If you're fishing for tarpon in shallow water, try baits that resemble bunker and mullet. The colors of these baits will vary depending where they are located.

How do I clean my fishing equipment?
There are many ways to clean your fishing equipment. Some of these methods are very basic while others require more advanced techniques. You can use soap and warm water.
