If you are looking for artificial lures to catch tarpon, this is the place to be. We've covered the X-Rap Twitchin' Mullet, Dr. Fish's Saltwater GT Popper is covered as well as MirrOlure 77M twitchbait and the X-Rap 3-inch 1/4-ounce clear jig. Each of these fly actions is unique and works well.

X-Rap Twitchin' Mullet

If you're looking to catch tarpon with artificial lures, you'll probably be using a mullet imitation. You will need to fish differently in open water than in saltwater. You'll want to suspend your bait ten to fifteen feet in front of the rolling fish and work it slowly with a series of twitches. Morris suggests that you follow a one second pause with three seconds of pause. If retrieving erratically, Morris recommends changing to a one two count. 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 is designed to be placed on top of the tarpon, allowing it to flutter along with it as it swims. This bait is best for fishing in deep waters.

The Double Barrel Popper produces a massive sound and a big bubble trail. 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've found the right pattern, you'll be well on your way to catching tarpon.

A medium-heavy spinning rod and long, medium-heavy rod are recommended for fishing for tarpon. Waszczuk recommends braided line in the 40- to 50-pound range. You can pick the weight of your line according to the size and shape of your Tarpon. Add a fluoroleader (or a leader) to your terminal end. Slowly work your bait with the tip. 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.
