You've found the right place if you want to catch tarpon using artificial lures. 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 flies has a different action, and each works well.
X-Rap Twitchin’ Mullet
You'll likely be using a mullet imitation if you want tarpon to be caught with artificial lures. You will need to fish differently in open water than in 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 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 look like a simple meal for 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 features a small, hollow body which allows for better hookups. It can sit on top of the tarpon's lip and flutter while it swims. If you fish in deep water, this bait can be used.
Dr. Fish's Saltwater GT Popper
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 big and small tarpon.
The Double Barrel Popper makes a loud sound and leaves a huge bubble trail. The lure is tied using a molded plastic body and a natural, or synthetic tail. It's most effective in shallow waters where there are spotted fish. The lure can be cast and retrieved just like a brushfly. Once you have the right pattern, you will be well on your path to catching tarpon.
A medium-heavy spinning rod and long, medium-heavy rod are recommended for fishing for tarpon. Waszczuk recommends braided 40-50 pound lines. The size of your tarpon can determine the weight of the line. 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. Baits that resemble bunker, mullet and other baits are good for fishing for tarpon in shallow waters. The colors vary depending on where you find them.

It is very effective with hooks and has a sinking action when it is stationary. This bait is great for clear water fishing and can be fished near a dock or on the beach.
