If you're looking to catch tarpon on artificial lures, you've come to the right place. We have covered the X-Rap Twitchin’ Mullet, Dr. Fish's Saltwater GT Popper is covered as well as MirrOlure 77M twitchbait and the X-Rap 3-inch 1/4-ounce clear jig. Each flies performs well and has a different action.
X-Rap Twitchin’ Mullet
If you are looking to catch tarpon by using artificial lures, you will likely use a mullet imitation. In open water, however, you will have to fish slightly differently than you would in saltwater. Your bait should be suspended ten to fifteen yards in front of the fish, and you will need to slowly work it with a series twitches. 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 like an easy meal to the Tarpon.
Deep-water fishing is easy with this red-white bunker-colored Mullet. This bait buster has a small, hollow body that allows for a better hookup. The hook is designed to be placed on top of the tarpon, allowing it to flutter along with it as it swims. This bait is best for fishing in deep waters.
Dr. Dr.
A great tarpon fishing lure is the Dr. Fish's Saltwater GT Popper, which is 8 inches long and made of heavy-duty plastic. This lure, also known as "D.O.A Shrimp", is a great lure for tarpon. This lure can be used to catch both big and small tarpon.
Double Barrel Popper is loud and produces large bubble trails. The lure comes with a molded foam body, a synthetic tail or natural tail. It is most effective when used in shallow waters for spotted fish, and it can be cast out and retrieved like a brush fly. Once you find the right pattern you can catch tarpon.
For tarpon fishing, you will need a medium-heavy spinning gear and a long, heavy rod. Waszczuk recommends braided line in the 40- to 50-pound range. 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. Try baits that resemble mullet or bunker if you are fishing for tarpon. The color of the bait will vary depending on where they are found.
MirrOlure77M twitch bait
The MirrOlure 77M shad twitch bait is perfect for tarpon, bluefish, snook, and jack. These twitch baits can sink to several foot and are available in many attractive patterns. This bait is irresistible to fish because of its darting action. You can choose from a variety of natural colors and patterns.
This twitchbait is suspended and stays submerged for 36 inches. This type of tarpon bait should not be fished as a single lure, but should be brought in slowly with a slow and steady retrieve. This bait's hot tiger color is also known as the Tropical in Cuba and is great for tarpon fishing at night or in low light conditions. This twitch bait works great on cubera snapper and jack crevalle.
MirrOlure 77M can be used to cast and trolling for tarpon. It is made of ABS and has a UV protective finish. It is durable enough to withstand all water conditions. This lure stands out because of its holographic reflective features.
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's for fishing inshore waters. It is a great bait with excellent hooks, and it sinks when stationary. This bait works well in clear waters and can be fished either on the beach or close to a dock. This bait works well in shallow flats, brackish rivers, and shallow lakes. 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. The bait is stocked with glitter specs in order to catch juvenile Tarpon. It's also great in clearwater, as the manufacturer states that it's stuffed full of 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 to fish in Freshwater
Freshwater fishing involves the capture of fish from freshwater sources like lakes, rivers, streams and ponds. There are many types of fish that can be caught, including bass, carp and crappie, trout as well, walleyes, perch, pike (muskie), eel and many other species. These species can be caught in a variety different ways. There are many methods that can be used to catch these fish, including trolling (casting), trolling, spinnerbaits (spinnerbaits), flyfishing and baitcasting.
The first step when trying to catch any type of fish is finding a good location where fish are likely to be found. This means that you should choose a location near the water source. Next, you need to decide on the type of equipment that you want.
For live bait to work, choose something that looks familiar and appealing to the fish. You can use live bait such as worms and minnows, insects, grasshoppers, bloodworms and leeches.
Artificial lures can be used. These baits are made of plastic, wood feathers rubber metal foam and other materials. Artificial lures are available in many sizes and shapes. They are able to imitate aquatic prey, such as shiners, crawfish, grubs, minnows, and other animals. People prefer to use lures as they don't require any skill to cast them in the water. Once they have hit their target, lures are simple to set up and retrieve.
Casting is a great way to learn if you don't want to use live bait, or just want to experiment with new techniques. Casting is one of most effective ways to catch fish. It requires very little effort and no special skills.
You will need a rod, reel and line. Casting with a simple pole is easy. Simply hold the rod vertically over the water to cast. Slowly lower your rod so it touches the water. When it touches water, the line begins to unwind from its reel. The lure will drop into the water once the line is at its full length.
Trolling is another way to catch fish. Trolling uses a boat to propel a lure through water.
Fishing is fun and rewarding. There are many types of fishing, each with its own benefits and drawbacks. Some techniques are easier than others. However, they require patience and practice.
