Here are some tips to help you catch tarpon using artificial lures. We have 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 fly actions is unique and works well.
XRap Twitchin’ Mollet
Mullet imitations are a great choice for catching tarpon with artificial lures. But, in open water you'll need to fish slightly differently to saltwater. It's best to put your bait about ten or fifteen feet in front if you want to retrieve the rolling fish. Then, slowly and with a series on twitches, move it slowly. 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 seem easy to the Tarpon.
This red-white, bunker-colored mullet makes a great choice for deep-water fishing. The bait buster's small hollow body allows for better hookups. The hook sits on the top of tarpon's lips and will flutter as it moves. This bait is great for deep-water fishing.
Dr. Dr.
Dr. Fish's Saltwater GT Popper (8 inches) is a great lure for tarpon fishing. It is made of heavy-duty, plastic. This lure is also called the "D.O.A Shrimp" because it's a great lure and the best for tarpon. This lure can catch large and small tarpon.
The Double Barrel Popper produces a massive sound and a big bubble trail. This lure is tied with either a natural or synthetic tail and a molded foam head. This lure works best in shallow water, where spotted fish are abundant. You can cast it out and retrieve it like a brush flies. Once you've found the right pattern, you'll be well on your way to catching tarpon.
Fishing for tarpon requires a medium to heavy spinning reel and a rod that is long enough to carry it. For line, Waszczuk recommends braided lines in the 40 to 50-pound class. The weight of your tarpon will determine the line you use. 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. You can fish for tarpon in shallower waters by using baits that resemble bunker or mullet. The colors vary depending on where you find them.
MirrOlure 77M Twitch Bait
MirrOlure 77M shad twitchbait works well for tarpon, bluefish and snook. These twitch baits can sink to several foot and are available in many attractive patterns. This bait has an irresistible darting motion for fish. There are many natural colors and patterns to choose from.
The suspending action of this twitchbait means that it stays submerged up to 36 inches. This type of tarpon bait shouldn't be fished as one lure. Slow and steady retrieves are recommended. Its hot color, also known by the Tropical name in Cuba, makes it ideal for tarpon in low light or nighttime. This bait is also great for cubera snapper and jack crevalle.
MirrOlure 77M can be used to cast and trolling for tarpon. It is made from ABS and protected by UV light. It is designed to survive a variety of water conditions, so it's versatile and highly effective. This lure is distinguished by its holographic reflections, which make it stand out in all situations.
X-Rap 3-inch 1/4 ounce clear jig
The X-Rap jig makes a great lure for tarpon. This bait is a favorite of 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. It's great for these conditions because of the pilchard or gold colors.
TerrorEyz is another clear jig that can be used to sight cast. It measures 3 inches and weighs 1/4 ounce. This bait is filled with glitter specs to catch juvenile tarpon. It looks great in clear water and is made with real shrimp. You can't tell if the bait has shrimp stuffed. This bait is made from soft plastic. It still works well at catching Tarpon.
FAQ
How often should I change my lures?
Change your lures once a day. Lures tend to lose effectiveness after being left out in the sun too long.
Is it possible for me to fish both at night and during the day?
However, you need to be sure you are using artificial lighting. Fishermen use artificial lights to attract fish. They work well after the sun sets as fish become more active in the dark.
What kind of gear do you need for fishing?
A rod, reel with line, hooks and bait, as well as some snacks. You will need to know how to cast, hook up a hook and use a trolling motor to catch fish. Remember to be patient and wait for the right moment before you strike.
What happens if I lose a fish while fishing?
Part of the game is losing a fish. Sometimes you will catch a fish only to lose it later. If this happens, keep trying. You will eventually catch another fish.

How To
How do I clean fishing gear?
There are many different types of cleaning methods available for your fishing equipment. Some of them are very basic, while others require advanced techniques. The most common way to wash your clothes is with soap and water. You should always ensure you rinse the item thoroughly after washing it. There's a possibility of bacteria growth if the item is not rinsed well. This would lead to a bad smell and even worse infections if left untreated. A good way to prevent this is to dry the items completely before storing them. Another thing that you should keep in mind when doing any type of cleaning is to avoid touching the surface of the item. Germs can be transferred to the object if you touch it.
In addition to using soap and water, there are many things that you can do to improve the quality of your fishing gear. You may want to use different detergents or solvents, depending on the type and model of your fishing gear. Some things should not be used, though, as they may cause damage to your goods. Bleach is one example. Bleach can dissolve metal and plastic so don't use it for cleaning your fishing gear. Warm water and a dishwashing detergent are better choices. Only use dishwashing detergents designed to clean fish. Dishwashing liquids contain enzymes and chemicals that help break down organic materials such as scales, slime, and blood. Surfactants are also included in dishwashing liquids that loosen dirt and grime. If you are concerned about stain removal, you can use a stain remover. Oils and fats left on the surface cause most stains. Applying stain removers directly to the area where the oil or fat came from helps remove the stain without damaging the underlying material.
There are many cleaners available for fishing gear at your local hardware store. Many stores stock a variety of cleaners that are suitable for various purposes. Some are made to remove small amounts of grease; others can handle larger quantities. You can choose which one best suits your needs.
