Here are some tips to help you catch tarpon using artificial lures. We've also covered Dr. Fish's Saltwater GT Popper and MirrOlure 77M twitchbait are all covered, as well as the X-Rap 3 inch 1/4-ounce clear jig. Each of these fly actions is unique and works well.
X-Rap Twitchin’ Mullet
A mullet imitation is a good choice if you want to catch tarpon using artificial lures. 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 that you take a short pause and then follow it up with a three second pause. Then, if you are retrieving erratically Morris suggests changing to a two count. This will make your bait look like a simple meal for the Tarpon.
This red-white bunker-colored mullet is a good choice for deep-water fishing. 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 ideal for fishing deep water.
Dr. Fish's Saltwater GT Popper
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 called the "D.O.A Shrimp" because it's a great lure and the best for tarpon. This lure can catch large and small tarpon.
The Double Barrel Popper emits a large sound and leaves behind a lot of bubbles. This lure is tied with a molded foam body and a natural or synthetic tail. This lure works best in shallow water, where spotted fish are abundant. You can cast it out and retrieve it like a brush flies. Once you have found the right kind of pattern, it will be easy to 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. To hook, add a fluoroleader at the terminal end of the line. Then slowly use the tip of the rod to move your bait. For fishing in shallow waters for tarpon, you can use baits that look like bunker or mullet. The colors will vary depending upon where you find them.
MirrOlure77M twitch bait
MirrOlure 77M shad twitchbait for tarpons, bluefishes, snook, and jack is great. These twitchbaits can sink up to several feet and come in a variety of eye-catching designs. This bait has an irresistible darting motion for fish. There are many natural colors and patterns to choose from.
This twitchbait has a suspending action and can be submerged for up 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. The hot tiger colour, also known in Cuba as the Tropical color, is ideal for tarpon at night or under 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 from ABS and protected by UV light. It is made of ABS and has a UV protective finish. This lure stands out in any environment thanks to its holographic reflections.
X-Rap 3-inch 1/4 ounce clear jig
The X-Rap jig makes a great lure for tarpon. This bait is a favorite of Capt. Jim likes to fish inshore water with this bait. It is a great bait with excellent hooks, and it sinks when stationary. This bait is excellent in clear water. It can be fished along the shore or at a dock. It is also useful in brackish and shallow rivers. 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. This bait is made with glitter specs to catch juveniles tarpon. It's also great in clearwater, as the manufacturer states that it's stuffed full of real shrimp. You can't tell if the bait has shrimp stuffed. This bait is made from soft plastic.

How To
How to cast a fishing rod perfectly
You must first know how to cast a fish rod. To ensure that the rod is parallel to ground, it should be held at an angle. When you start moving the rod forward, keep the tip of the rod perpendicular to the surface of the water. If the tip hits the water's surface before the line reaches the bottom, the fish won't bite. This technique can be used to increase distance between the tip and water surface.
If you don't feel comfortable casting a rod yet, here are some tips to make it easier.
Begin by holding the rod close to your chest. This will allow you to control the rod's movement without having to bend.
If you are casting a large rod, it is a good idea to put a tripod on the shoreline. You can rest the rod securely, while also holding the reel.
Third, you might consider buying a smaller reel as an alternative to a larger one. A cheaper spinning reel will let you cast farther distances and help you improve your hand-eye coordination.
A fishing pole holder is another option. These holders hold the rod securely and keep it upright. These holders are easy to store and protect your rod from damage.
Fifth, practice casting until the motion becomes natural. Casting a fishing pole takes practice.
Sixth, remember that the key to successful fishing is patience. Waiting for the right moment is crucial. Once the strike occurs, you must work hard to reel in the fish.
