If you're looking to catch tarpon on artificial lures, you've come to the right place. We have already covered the 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 is different, but each one works well.
X-Rap Twitchin' Mullet
If you're looking to catch tarpon with artificial lures, you'll probably be using a mullet imitation. In open water, however, you will have to fish slightly differently 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 look like a simple meal for the Tarpon.
This red-white bunker-colored, mullet is great for deep-water fishing. The bait buster's small hollow body allows for better hookups. The hook allows it to sit on the top lip of tarpon and flutter as it swims. This bait is great for deep-water fishing.

How To
Why should you use spinning rods?
The spinning rod is useful when you need to throw your lure in the water and not have to get out of the boat. This is a great option if you don’t want to spend too much time returning to the boat after casting. A spinning rod can be used to cast from any location and maintain control of your line. The rod consists of three main components: the handle and the reel seat. The handle is used to hold the rod, and the shaft. The butt section is where you attach the rod's tip to the hook. Finally, the reel's seat holds the line and the reel. There are many kinds of rods on the market today. Some are specifically designed for certain fishing types, such as casting and trolling. Others are intended to be used for different purposes, such fly fishing or spin fishing, as well as bait fishing.
The type you catch will affect the type rod you choose. If you want to target large predatory species, such as bass and pike, then you will need a heavier-duty rod. For smaller species such as salmon or trout, a lighter rod might be better. You could even get multiple rod sizes to match the size of the fish that you wish to catch.
Spinning Rods don't have to be limited to freshwater fishing. They are used extensively for saltwater fishing. Saltwater spinning rods weigh more than their freshwater counterparts, as they need stronger materials to withstand saltwater's harsh conditions. Saltwater spinners have a longer rod length and a bigger diameter. They can cast further distances because of this. There are downsides to saltwater spinning rods. First, unlike freshwater spinning rods, saltwater ones do not come with reels. Instead, you will have to buy one separately. They are also quite costly. A spinning rod is an option if you like to catch bigger fish.
Spin fishing refers to angling where a spin fisherman uses a spinning reel to cast a weighted bait into the water. When the lure is in the water, it will spin around the weighted central point. This causes the lure move erratically through the water, making fish difficult to spot. Fish may also mistake the lure for food and begin feeding on it. The lure will therefore attract more fish. The lure's line can then be reeled in by a fisherman. Once the lure is pulled, the fisherman can keep going until he catches the desired number of fish.
