X-Rap Twitchin’ Mullet
Mullet imitations are a great choice for catching tarpon with artificial lures. Fishing in saltwater is a different experience than when you fish in open waters. The best way to fish in open water is to keep your bait ten- to fifteen feet from the rolling fish. Slowly, use a series of twitches to move it around. 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 appear like a tasty meal 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 bait buster is small and hollow, which makes it easier to hook up. 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.

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 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. Waszczuk recommends braided 40-50 pound lines. The size of your tarpon can determine the weight of the line. 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. 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.
