You've found the right place if you want to catch tarpon using artificial lures. We've 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
If you are looking to catch tarpon by using artificial lures, you will likely use a mullet imitation. 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 appear like a tasty meal to 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 is small and hollow, which makes it easier to hook up. The hook can be placed on the top lip or tarpon to allow it to flutter and swim. 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 known by the "D.O.A Shrimp" and is the best lure for tarpon. This lure can be used to catch both small and big tarpon.
The Double Barrel Popper makes a loud sound and leaves a huge bubble trail. This lure is tied with either a natural or synthetic tail and a molded foam head. 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.
Fishing for tarpon requires a medium to heavy spinning reel and a rod that is long enough to carry it. Waszczuk recommends braided, 40-50-pound line. You can pick the weight of your line according to the size and shape of your Tarpon. A fluoro leader can be added to the end of your line for hooking. You can then slowly move the bait along the tip with your rod. Baits that resemble bunker, mullet and other baits are good for fishing for tarpon in shallow waters. The colors will vary depending upon where you find them.

The X-Rap is a fantastic choice if you are looking for a clear jig that will lure tarpon. This bait is a favourite of Capt. Jim prefers this bait to fish inshore waters. It has great hooks and sinks well when stationary. This bait works well in clear waters and can be fished either on the beach or close to a dock. It is also useful in brackish and shallow rivers. These conditions can be aided by the use of gold or pilchard color.
Another clear jig designed for sight casting is the TerrorEyz 3-inch 1/4 ounce jig. This bait is filled to catch juvenile tarpon with glitter specs. 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 Cast a Fishing Rod Easily
The first thing you must know when casting a fishing rod is to use your wrist to move the rod's handle smoothly towards the water. To ensure that the rod is parallel to ground, it should be held at an angle. The rod should be moved forward with the tip perpendicular towards the water surface. Fish won't bite if the rod's tip touches the surface of the water before it reaches the bottom. You can increase the distance between the tip of the rod and the surface of the water by practicing this technique.
These tips will help you feel more comfortable casting a fishing rod.
To begin, keep the rod as close to you chest as possible. You can control the rod's direction by this method without having to bend down.
Second, when casting a heavy rod, you may want to set up a tripod on the shoreline or on a rock ledge. By doing this, you'll be able to rest the rod securely while holding the reel.
Third, consider getting a small reel over a more expensive one. A low-cost spinning reel will allow for you to cast greater distances. It will also improve your hand eye coordination.
A fishing pole holder is another option. These holders are designed to keep the rod upright and hold it securely. These holders are easy to store and protect your rod from damage.
Fifth, practice casting until your muscles get used to it. Casting a fishing pole takes practice.
Sixth, patience is key to successful fishing. Waiting for the right moment to strike is key to successful fishing. Then, work hard to get the fish in.
