This article will show you how to catch Tarpon with 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 flies performs well and has a different action.
X-Rap Twitchin' Mullet
If you're looking to catch tarpon with artificial lures, you'll probably be using a mullet imitation. Fishing in saltwater is a different experience than when you fish in open waters. 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 your bait seem like an easy meal to the Tarpon.
This red-white bunker-colored, mullet is great for deep-water fishing. This bait buster is small and hollow, which makes it easier to hook up. It can sit on top of the tarpon's lip and flutter while it swims. When fishing in deep water, try using this bait when you're fishing in slow-water conditions.

Dr. Fish's Saltwater GT Popper measures 8 inches in length, and is made of tough plastic. This lure, also known as "D.O.A Shrimp", is a great lure 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. The lure comes with a molded foam body, a synthetic tail or natural 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've found the right pattern, you'll be well on your way to catching 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. The weight of your tarpon will determine the line you use. 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. You can fish for tarpon in shallower waters by using baits that resemble bunker or mullet. The colors can vary depending on where they're found.
