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
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 recommends alternating a one-second stop with a three-second rest, then switching to a one/two count if your retrieve is erratic. This will make your bait seem easy to the Tarpon.
This red-white mullet, which is also known as a bunker-colored mullet, is an excellent choice for deep water fishing. This baitbuster's hollow body makes for a better hookup. The hook can be placed on the top lip or tarpon to allow it to flutter and swim. If you fish in deep water, this bait can be used.
Dr. Dr.
Dr. Fish's Saltwater GT Popper has a length of 8 inches and is made from tough plastic. This lure, also known to be the "D.O.A Shrimp", can be used to catch tarpon. This lure can be used for both large and small tarpon.
The Double Barrel Popper produces a massive sound and a big bubble trail. This lure is tied with either a natural or synthetic tail and a molded foam head. It is most effective when used in shallow waters for spotted fish, and it can be cast out and retrieved like a brush fly. Once you find the right pattern you can catch tarpon.
A medium-heavy spinning rod and long, medium-heavy rod are recommended for fishing for tarpon. Waszczuk recommends braided lines weighing between 40 and 50 pounds. You can pick the weight of your line according to the size and shape of your Tarpon. 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. For fishing in shallow waters for tarpon, you can use baits that look like bunker or mullet. The colors vary depending on where you find them.
MirrOlure 77M Twitch Bait
MirrOlure 77M shad twitchbait works well for tarpon, bluefish and snook. These twitchbaits are available in many eye-catching colors and sink to several feet. This bait gives fish an irresistible darting effect. You can choose from a variety of natural colors and patterns.
This twitch bait has a suspending action that stays submerged for up to 36 inches. This bait should not be fished with one lure. Instead, it should be slowly brought in and used for 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 twitchbait also works well on cubera snapper, jack crevalle, and other fish.
MirrOlure 77M twitchbait is all-purpose and can be used for trolling or casting. It is made out of ABS with a UV protective coating. It is designed to survive a variety of water conditions, so it's versatile and highly effective. This lure stands out because of its holographic reflective features.

TerrorEyz is another clear jig that can be used to sight cast. It measures 3 inches and weighs 1/4 ounce. This bait is filled with glitter specs to catch juvenile tarpon.
