Morris recommends following a one-second pause with a three-second pause, and changing to a one-two count if you're retrieving erratically. This will make your bait seem easy to the Tarpon.

FAQ
Can I fish during the day or night?
Yes, but make sure to use artificial light. Fishermen use artificial lights to attract fish. They are most effective after the sun sets, when fish are more active.
What is the best time to fish?
It is best to fish in the morning or at night. These times are ideal for fish to be feeding and moving about.
Are special licenses necessary to fish?
If you intend to take fish outside of your state or cross county lines, no. Many states allow anglers fishing without a license. Check with your local Fish & Wildlife agency to see what is required.
How often should I change my lures?
You should change your lures every few days. When left out in direct sunlight for too long, lures tend to lose their effectiveness.

How To
Why should you use spinning rods?
Spinning rods are used to cast your lure into water without having to leave the boat. This is a great option if you don’t want to spend too much time returning to the boat after casting. A spinning rod will allow you to cast from any position, while maintaining control over your line. The main components of the rod are the handle, reel seat, and butt section. The handle holds the rod and allows you to grip the shaft. Attach the rod's end to the hook in the butt area. The reel seat holds the line to which it is attached. There are many options for rods. Some rods can only be used for trolling and casting. Others can be used to fly fish, spin fish, baitfish, and so on.
The type of rod you select depends on what kind of fish you plan to catch. You would need a heavy-duty rod if your goal is to catch large predatory fish like pike and bass. If you are targeting smaller species, such as trout and salmon, a lighter-weight rod may be more effective. You could even go so far as to buy several rod sizes depending on how big the fish you hope to catch is.
Spinning Rods are not limited to just freshwater fishing. They can also be used for saltwater fishing. Saltwater spinning is more heavy than its freshwater counterparts. It requires stronger materials that can withstand saltwater. Saltwater spinners are more likely to use a longer length rod and have a wider diameter. This allows them to cast further distances. There are downsides to saltwater spinning rods. First, unlike freshwater spinning rods, saltwater ones do not come with reels. Instead, you will have to buy one separately. They are also quite costly. If you love catching bigger fish, then a spinning rod may be something to consider.
Spin fishing is a type of angling that uses a spinning rod to throw a weighted lure into water. When the lure swims through the water, it spins around the weighted center point. This causes the lure's motion to be unpredictable in the water and makes it difficult for fishes to see. Fish might also mistake the lure as food and start eating it. The lure will therefore attract more fish. The lure's line can then be reeled in by a fisherman. After the lure has been recovered, the fisherman will be able to reel in the line until he captures the desired amount of fish.
