Here are some tips to help you catch tarpon using artificial lures. We've covered the X-Rap Twitchin' Mullet, Dr. Fish's Saltwater GT Popper and MirrOlure 77M twitchbait are all covered, as well as the X-Rap 3 inch 1/4-ounce clear jig. Each of these flies has a different action, and each works well.
XRap Twitchin’ Mollet
Mullet imitations are a great choice for catching tarpon with artificial lures. In open water, however, you will have to fish slightly differently than you would in saltwater. You'll want to suspend your bait ten to fifteen feet in front of the rolling fish and work it slowly with a series of twitches. Morris suggests following a 1-second pause followed by a 3-second pause. You can then change to a 1-two count if retrieving erratically. This will make the bait appear easy to the Tarpon.
This red-white bunker-colored, mullet is great for deep-water fishing. This baitbuster's hollow body makes for a better hookup. The hook allows it to sit on the top lip of tarpon and flutter as it swims. If you fish in deep water, this bait can be used.
Dr. Dr.
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 can be used for both large and small tarpon.
Double Barrel Popper creates a loud, clear sound and big bubble trails. 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 have found the right kind of pattern, it will be easy to catch tarpon.
When fishing for tarpon, you should use a medium-heavy spinning reel and a long, medium-heavy rod. For line, Waszczuk recommends braided lines in the 40 to 50-pound class. The weight of your tarpon will determine the line you use. Add a fluoroleader (or a leader) to your terminal end. Slowly work your bait with the tip. Baits that resemble bunker, mullet and other baits are good for fishing for tarpon in shallow waters. The colors of these baits will vary depending where they are located.
MirrOlure-77M twitchbait
The MirrOlure 77M shad twitch bait is perfect for tarpon, bluefish, snook, and jack. These twitchbaits come in many appealing patterns and can sink to several yards. This bait creates an irresistible darting sensation in the fish. Several natural colors and patterns are available to choose from.
This twitch bait has a suspending action that stays submerged for up to 36 inches. This tarpon bait should never be fished alone. 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 twitch bait works great on cubera snapper and jack crevalle.
MirrOlure 77M twitchbait is all-purpose and can be used for trolling or casting. It is made from ABS, and has a UV protection finish. 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
If you're looking to lure tarpon with a clear jig, the X-Rap jig is a great option. This bait is loved by Capt. Jim likes to fish inshore water with this bait. It has great hooks and sinks well when stationary. This bait is excellent in clear water. It can be fished along the shore or at a dock. This bait works well in shallow flats, brackish rivers, and shallow lakes. The gold or pilchard colors are great for these conditions.
Another clear jig designed for sight casting is the TerrorEyz 3-inch 1/4 ounce jig. This bait has glitter specs that are designed to catch juvenile Spanish tarpon. It also looks great in clear water, and the manufacturer says it's stuffed with real shrimp. If you are unsure if it's stuffed, it can be used as a soft plastic bait and still catch tarpon.

How To
How do I clean fishing gear?
There are many different types of cleaning methods available for your fishing equipment. Some methods are simple while others require more complex techniques. You can use soap and warm water. You should always ensure you rinse the item thoroughly after washing it. There is a possibility that dirt may remain inside the item, which can lead to bacteria growth. If it is not cleaned properly, it could lead to an unpleasant odor or worse infections. Drying the items thoroughly before placing them in storage is a good way to avoid this. Remember to not touch the item's surface while cleaning. Germs can be transferred to the object if you touch it.
Apart from using soap, water, there are many ways you can improve the quality and performance of your fishing gear. You may want to use different detergents or solvents, depending on the type and model of your fishing gear. However, there are some things you shouldn't use because they can damage your goods. Bleach is one such thing. Bleach is known to dissolve plastic and metal, so you shouldn't ever use it to clean your fishing gear. Use warm water and a dishwashing liquid instead. Use only dishwashing fluids specifically made for cleaning fish. Dishwashing fluids contain chemicals and enzymes that break down organic materials, such as blood, slime and scales. Surfactants are also included in dishwashing liquids that loosen dirt and grime. You should still consider using a stain-removal product if you are worried about stain removal. Most stains are caused by oil and fats that have remained on the gear's surface. Stain removers can be applied directly to the spot where the oil or fat is present. This will remove the stain without causing damage to the underlying material.
Your local home improvement store will have many options for cleaning your fishing gear. Many stores stock a variety of cleaners that are suitable for various purposes. Some cleaners are designed to work with very small amounts of grease while others can handle large quantities. You can choose the one that fits your needs the best.
