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. However, you're going to have to fish a little differently in the open waters than you would 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 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 your bait appear like a tasty meal to the Tarpon.
This red-white bunker-colored, mullet is great for deep-water fishing. This bait buster has a small, hollow body that allows for a better hookup. 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.

Double Barrel Popper creates a loud, clear sound and big bubble trails. The lure comes with a molded foam body, a synthetic tail or natural tail.

Once you've chosen the right type of pattern, you're well on your way towards catching tarpon.
A medium-heavy spinning rod and long, medium-heavy rod are recommended for fishing for tarpon. 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. Try baits that resemble mullet or bunker if you are fishing for tarpon. The colors vary depending on where you find them.

- Coarse fishing is 100% catch and release these days. (linesonthewater.anglingtrust.net)
- Orvis, Simms, and Fishpond have been making some of the best packs and vests for a long time, and it seems like 90% of the anglers around the area use these brands. (troutandsteelhead.net)
- For most freshwater species you are most likely to target when first starting out, a reel size of 20 to 30 should be more than enough! (strikeandcatch.com)

How To
Why would you want to use a spinning rod instead?
Spinning Rods are useful for casting your lure into the waters without leaving 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 allows you to cast from any angle and still have control over your line. There are three major components to the rod; handle, butt and reel section. The handle is where you hold the rod and grip the shaft. Attach the rod's end to the hook in the butt area. Finally, the reel's seat holds the line and the reel. There are many options for rods. Some are designed to be used only for certain types of fishing, such as casting or trolling. Others can be used for a variety of purposes, such as fly fishing, spin-fishing, and bait fishing.
The type of fish you intend to catch will determine the type of rod that you choose. If you want to target large predatory species, such as bass and pike, then you will need a heavier-duty rod. A lighter-weight rod might work best if you were targeting smaller species like trout or salmon. You could even get multiple rod sizes to match the size of the fish that you wish to catch.
Spinning Rods aren't limited to freshwater fisherman. They are also used frequently for saltwater fishing. Saltwater spinning is more heavy than its freshwater counterparts. It requires stronger materials that can withstand saltwater. Saltwater spinners have a longer rod length and a bigger diameter. This allows them to cast farther distances. A spinning rod is not the best choice for saltwater fishing. Saltwater spinning reels come without reels, which is a big difference from freshwater rods. Instead, one must be purchased separately. Secondly, they are typically quite expensive. If you are interested in catching larger fish, a spinning rod might be worth looking at.
Spin fishing is a method of angling in which a fisherman uses a spinning rod to cast a weighted lure into the water. When the lure swims through the water, it spins around the weighted center point. The lure will move in a erratic manner, making it hard for fish to recognize the lure. Fish may mistakenly consider the lure food and begin eating it. This will make the lure more attractive to fish. The line attached to the lure can be reeled in by the fisherman. After the lure is retrieved, the fisherman can continue the process until he has caught the desired number.
