If you're looking to catch tarpon on artificial lures, you've come to the right place. We've also covered 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
A mullet imitation is a good choice if you want to catch tarpon using artificial lures. Fishing in saltwater is a different experience than when you fish in open waters. 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 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 easy to the Tarpon.
This red-white bunker-colored mullet is a good choice for deep-water fishing. This bait buster is small and hollow, which makes it easier to hook up. The hook sits on the top of tarpon's lips and will flutter as it moves. 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 as "D.O.A Shrimp", is a great lure for tarpon. This lure can be used to catch both big and small tarpon.
The Double Barrel Popper emits a large sound and leaves behind a lot of bubbles. This lure has a molded body and a synthetic or natural tail. It's most effective in shallow waters where there are spotted fish. The lure can be cast and retrieved just like a brushfly. Once you have found the right kind of pattern, it will be easy to catch tarpon.
For tarpon fishing, you will need a medium-heavy spinning gear and a long, heavy rod. Waszczuk recommends braided line in the 40- to 50-pound range. 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. Baits that resemble bunker, mullet and other baits are good for fishing for tarpon in shallow waters. The colors can vary depending on where they're found.
MirrOlure-77M twitchbait
MirrOlure 77M shad twitchbaits are great for snook, bluefish, tarpon and jack. These twitchbaits can sink up to several feet and come in a variety of eye-catching designs. This bait creates an irresistible darting sensation in the fish. There are many options for natural colors and patterns.
This twitch bait has a suspending action that stays submerged for up to 36 inches. This tarpon bait is not meant to be fished in one lure. It should be used slowly and with a steady retrieve. This bait's hot tiger color is also known as the Tropical in Cuba and is great for tarpon fishing at night or in low light conditions. This twitchbait is great for cubera snapper and Jack crevalle.
MirrOlure 77M twitchbait is all-purpose and can be used for trolling or casting. It's made of ABS and comes with a UV-protective finish. It is durable enough to withstand all water conditions. The holographic reflections make this lure a standout in any situation.
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 likes to fish inshore water with this bait. It's a good bait, with great hooks and sinking action. This bait can be fished at the beach or next to a dock in clear water. It's also effective in brackish rivers and shallow flats. It's great for these conditions because of the pilchard or gold colors.
TerrorEyz TerrorEyz 3/4 ounce clear bait is also available. This bait has glitter specs that are designed to catch juvenile Spanish tarpon. It also looks great when it's clear water. The manufacturer even claims that the bait is stuffed with shrimp. If you are unsure if it's stuffed, it can be used as a soft plastic bait and still catch tarpon.
