You've found the right place if you want to catch tarpon using artificial lures. We've covered the X-Rap Twitchin' Mullet, 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 has a different action, and each works well.
XRap Twitchin’ Mollet
If you are looking to catch tarpon by using artificial lures, you will likely use a mullet imitation. In open water, however, you will have to fish slightly differently than you would in saltwater. To fish slowly, you'll need to place your bait about ten to fifteenft in front the rolling fish. 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 seem like an easy meal to the Tarpon.
This red-white bunker-colored, mullet is great for deep-water fishing. This baitbuster's hollow body makes 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. Dr.
Dr. The Dr. Fish's Saltwater GT Popper is 8 inches in length and made from heavy-duty plastic. This lure is also known as the "D.O.A Shrimp," and it is an all-around great lure that's the best choice for tarpon. This lure is great for catching both small and large tarpon.
Double Barrel Popper creates a loud, clear sound and big bubble trails. The lure is tied using a molded plastic 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 the right pattern, you will be well on your path to catching tarpon.
Fishing for tarpon requires a medium to heavy spinning reel and a rod that is long enough to carry it. For line, Waszczuk recommends braided lines in the 40 to 50-pound class. The weight of your tarpon will determine the line you use. To hook, add a fluoroleader at the terminal end of the line. Then slowly use the tip of the rod to move your bait. If you're fishing for tarpon in shallow water, try baits that resemble bunker and mullet. The colors vary depending on where you find them.
MirrOlure 77M twitch bait
The MirrOlure 77M shad twitch bait is perfect for tarpon, bluefish, snook, and jack. Available in several eye-catching patterns, these twitch baits sink to several feet. This bait is irresistible to fish because of its darting action. There are many choices for natural colors, patterns and designs.
The suspending action of this twitchbait means that it stays submerged 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. Its hot color, also known by the Tropical name in Cuba, makes it ideal for tarpon in low light or nighttime. This bait is also great for cubera snapper and jack crevalle.
MirrOlure 77M twitchbait is all-purpose and can be used for trolling or casting. It is made of ABS and has a UV protective finish. It is durable enough to withstand all water conditions. This lure's holographic reflections make it stand out in any circumstance.
X-Rap 3-inch 1/4 ounce clear jig
The X-Rap is a fantastic choice if you are looking for a clear jig that will lure tarpon. This bait is a favourite of Capt. Jim's for fishing inshore waters. It has excellent hooks and a sinking action when stationary. This bait is great for clear water fishing and can be fished near a dock or on the beach. It is also useful in brackish and shallow rivers. For these situations, the gold or pilchard colours are excellent.
TerrorEyz's 3-inch 1/4-ounce clear jig can also be used for sight casting. This bait is filled to catch juvenile tarpon with glitter specs. It's also great in clearwater, as the manufacturer states that it's stuffed full of real shrimp. If you are unsure if it's stuffed, it can be used as a soft plastic bait and still catch tarpon.

How To
How to Fish in Freshwater
Freshwater fishing can be described as catching freshwater fish from streams, lakes, rivers and ponds. The most common types of fish caught include bass, catfish, carp, crappie, trout, sunfish, walleye, perch, pike, muskie, eel, and many others. There are several different methods used to catch these species of fish. Trolling, trolling, trolling, spinnerbaits and flyfishing are all popular methods.
The first step when trying to catch any type of fish is finding a good location where fish are likely to be found. This often means finding a spot close to your water source. Next, decide what type of equipment to use.
For live bait to work, choose something that looks familiar and appealing to the fish. Live bait may include worms.
Artificial lures are baits that are made from plastic, metal, foam, feathers, metal, rubber and other materials. Artificial lures come as many styles and sizes. Artificial lures can mimic natural prey such as minnows and crawfish or shiners and grubs. People prefer to use lures as they don't require any skill to cast them in the water. Lures are easy to set up and easy to retrieve once they hit their target.
You might want to learn how to cast if you don’t want live bait or want to try new techniques. Casting is one of most effective ways to catch fish. It takes very little effort and requires no special skill.
You only need a rod. A reel. Line, sinkers, weights, hooks. A simple pole is enough to cast with. In order to cast you simply hold the rod vertically above the surface of the water. You then slowly lower your rod's tip to the water. As soon as it does this the line starts to unwind from the reel. The lure will drop into the water once the line is at its full length.
Trolling is another method of catching fish. Trolling, which uses a boat and lures to move through the water, is another method of catching fish.
In conclusion, fishing is fun and rewarding. There are many options for fishing. Each has its pros and cons. While some methods are more straightforward than others, they all require practice and patience.
