If you're looking to catch tarpon on artificial lures, you've come to the right place. We've covered the X-Rap Twitchin' Mullet, Dr. Fish's Saltwater GT Popper, MirrOlure 77M twitch bait, and the X-Rap 3-inch 1/4-ounce clear jig. Each of these flies is different, but each one works well.
X-Rap Twitchin’ Mullet
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. To fish slowly, you'll need to place your bait about ten to fifteenft in front the rolling fish. Morris suggests that you follow a one second pause with three seconds of pause. If retrieving erratically, Morris recommends changing to a one two count. This will make your bait look like a simple meal for the Tarpon.
This red-white, bunker-colored mullet makes a great choice for deep-water fishing. This baitbuster's hollow body makes for a better hookup. The hook allows it to sit on the top lip of tarpon and flutter as it swims. This bait is best for fishing in deep waters.
Dr. Dr.
Dr. Fish's Saltwater GT Popper, which is 8 inches long and made of heavy-duty plastic. This lure, also known to be the "D.O.A Shrimp", can be used to catch tarpon. This lure can be used to catch both small and big tarpon.
The Double Barrel Popper produces a massive sound and a big bubble trail. This lure has a molded body and a synthetic or natural tail. It is most effective when used in shallow waters for spotted fish, and it can be cast out and retrieved like a brush fly. Once you've chosen the right type of pattern, you're well on your way towards catching tarpon.
You should fish for tarpon with a medium-heavy spinning and long rod. Waszczuk recommends braided, 40-50-pound line. You can choose the weight of line according to the size of your tarpon. A fluoro leader can be added to the end of your line for hooking. You can then slowly move the bait along the tip with your rod. If you're fishing for tarpon in shallow water, try baits that resemble bunker and mullet. The colors can vary depending on where they're found.
MirrOlure-77M twitchbait
MirrOlure 77M shad twitchbait is ideal for tarpons, bluefish, snook and jack. These twitchbaits can sink up to several feet and come in a variety of eye-catching designs. This bait creates an irresistible darting sensation in the fish. You can choose from a variety of natural colors and patterns.

X-Rap 3-inch 1/4 ounce clear jig
The X-Rap is a great clear jig for tarpon fishing. Capt. Jim's for fishing inshore waters. It has excellent hooks and a sinking action when stationary. This bait is great for clear water fishing and can be fished near a dock or on the beach. It is also useful in brackish and shallow rivers. The gold or pilchard colors are great for these conditions.
TerrorEyz is another clear jig that can be used to sight cast. It measures 3 inches and weighs 1/4 ounce. The bait is stocked with glitter specs in order to catch juvenile Tarpon. It's also great in clearwater, as the manufacturer states that it's stuffed full of real shrimp. But if you're not sure whether it's stuffed with shrimp, don't worry because this bait is made of soft plastic, and it's still very effective at catching tarpon.

How To
How to Cast a Fishing Rod Easily
First, you need to know how to cast a fishing line. You should hold the rod at a slight angle to ensure the line is parallel with the ground. Keep the rod's tip parallel to the water when you move it forward. If the tip hits the water's surface before the line reaches the bottom, the fish won't bite. You can increase the distance between the tip of the rod and the surface of the water by practicing this technique.
Here are some tips to help you cast a rod confidently.
To begin, keep the rod as close to you chest as possible. You can control the rod's direction by this method without having to bend down.
The tripod may be set up on the shoreline and/or on a rock edge to aid in casting a heavy-duty rod. By doing this, you'll be able to rest the rod securely while holding the reel.
Third, consider getting a small reel over a more expensive one. A cheaper spinning reel will let you cast farther distances and help you improve your hand-eye coordination.
Fourth, you may also want to consider purchasing a fishing pole holder. These holders are made to securely hold the rod while maintaining its upright position. They are easy to store after use and protect the rod against damage.
Fifth, practice casting until it becomes second nature. Casting a fishing line takes practice.
Sixth, patience and perseverance are the keys to fishing success. Waiting for the right moment is crucial. Once the strike occurs, you must work hard to reel in the fish.
