XRap Twitchin’ Mollet
If you're looking to catch tarpon with artificial lures, you'll probably be using a mullet imitation. But, in open water you'll need to fish slightly differently to saltwater. Your bait should be suspended ten to fifteen yards in front of the fish, and you will need to slowly work it with a series twitches. Morris recommends alternating a one-second stop with a three-second rest, then switching to a one/two count if your retrieve is erratic. This will make your bait seem easy to the Tarpon.
This red-white mullet, which is also known as a bunker-colored mullet, is an excellent choice for deep water fishing. This bait buster has a small, hollow body that allows for a better hookup. The hook allows it to sit on the top lip of tarpon and flutter as it swims. This bait is ideal for fishing deep water.
