X-Rap Twitchin’ Mullet
A mullet imitation is a good choice if you want to catch tarpon using artificial lures. However, you're going to have to fish a little differently in the open waters than you would in saltwater. The best way to fish in open water is to keep your bait ten- to fifteen feet from the rolling fish. Slowly, use a series of twitches to move it around. 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 the bait appear easy to the Tarpon.
This red-white, bunker-colored mullet makes a great choice for deep-water fishing. This baitbuster's hollow body makes for a better hookup. The hook sits on the top of tarpon's lips and will flutter as it moves. This bait is great for deep-water fishing.

The color of the bait will vary depending on where they are found.
