If you are looking for artificial lures to catch tarpon, this is the place to be. We have also covered 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.
X-Rap Twitchin' Mullet
A mullet imitation is a good choice if you want to catch tarpon using artificial lures. In open water, however, you will have to fish slightly differently than you would in saltwater. The best way to fish in open water is to keep your bait ten- to fifteen feet from the rolling fish. Slowly, use a series of twitches to move it around. 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 bunker-colored mullet is a good 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. When fishing in deep water, try using this bait when you're fishing in slow-water conditions.

A great tarpon fishing lure is the Dr. Fish's Saltwater GT Popper measures 8 inches in length, and is made of tough plastic. This lure is also called the "D.O.A Shrimp" because it's a great lure and the best for tarpon. This lure is great for catching both small and large tarpon.
The Double Barrel Popper emits a large sound and leaves behind a lot of bubbles. This lure has a molded body and a synthetic or natural tail. This lure is best used in shallow water for spotted fish. It can also be cast out and retrieved as a brush fly. Once you've chosen the right type of pattern, you're well on your way towards catching tarpon.
For tarpon fishing, you will need a medium-heavy spinning gear and a long, heavy rod. Waszczuk recommends braided, 40-50-pound line. You can select the weight of the line according to how big your tarpon is. To hook, add a fluoroleader at the terminal end of the line. Then slowly use the tip of the rod to move your bait. You can fish for tarpon in shallower waters by using baits that resemble bunker or mullet. The color of the bait will vary depending on where they are found.
MirrOlure 77M twitch bait
MirrOlure 77M shad twitchbait works well for tarpon, bluefish and snook. These twitchbaits are available in many eye-catching colors and sink to several feet. This bait gives fish an irresistible darting effect. Several natural colors and patterns are available to choose from.
The twitch bait's suspending action means it can stay submerged for as long as 36 inches. This type of tarpon bait shouldn't be fished as one lure. Slow and steady retrieves are recommended. Its hot, tiger-colored color, also called the Tropical color in Cuba is perfect for tarpon when it's dark or low-light conditions. 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 has a UV protection finish. It is durable enough to withstand all water conditions. The holographic reflections make this lure a standout in any situation.
X-Rap 3-inch 1/4 ounce clear jig
The X-Rap is a fantastic choice if you are looking for a clear jig that will lure tarpon. Capt. Jim uses this bait for fishing inshore waters. It is a great bait with excellent hooks, and it sinks when stationary. This bait works well in clear water and can be fished on the beach or near a dock. It's also effective in brackish rivers and shallow flats. For these situations, the gold or pilchard colours are excellent.
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 to catch juvenile tarpon with glitter specs. The manufacturer claims that it is stuffed with real shrimp and looks great in clear waters. This bait is still effective in catching tarpon, even though it is soft plastic.

How To
Why should you use spinning rods?
The spinning rod is useful when you need to throw your lure in the water and not have to get out of the boat. If you don’t have the time or desire to get back in your boat quickly after each cast, it’s a great choice. The spinning rod's purpose is to let you cast from any position and keep control of your line. There are three major components to the rod; handle, butt and reel section. You hold the rod with your fingers and grip the shaft. The butt section is where you attach the rod's tip to the hook. The reel seat holds the line to which it is attached. There are many different types of rods available today. Some are designed to be used only for certain types of fishing, such as casting or trolling. Others can be used in a variety ways, such as fly fishing and spin fishing.
The type you catch will affect the type rod you choose. 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 aren't limited to freshwater fisherman. They can also be used for saltwater fishing. Saltwater spinning reels are typically heavier than freshwater rods. This is because saltwater requires stronger materials to withstand saltwater. Saltwater spinners are more likely to use a longer length rod and have a wider diameter. They can cast further distances because of this. There are downsides to saltwater spinning rods. First, unlike freshwater spinning rods, saltwater ones do not come with reels. Instead, one must be purchased separately. They can also be very expensive. A spinning rod is worth your consideration if you enjoy catching larger fish.
A method of fishing that involves using a spinning rod and a weighted lure to cast into the water is called spin fishing. The weighted center of the lure turns as the lure moves through water. The lure will move in a erratic manner, making it hard for fish to recognize the lure. Fish may also mistakenly eat the lure for food, and begin to feed on it. This will make the lure more attractive to fish. The fisherman can then reel in the line attached to the lure. Once the lure is pulled, the fisherman can keep going until he catches the desired number of fish.
