Here are some tips to help you catch tarpon using artificial lures. We have already covered the 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 flies have a unique action and they all work well.
X-Rap Twitchin’ Mullet
You'll likely be using a mullet imitation if you want tarpon to be caught with 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 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 like an easy meal to the Tarpon.
This red-white, bunker-colored mullet makes a great choice 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.

The Double Barrel Popper makes a loud sound and leaves a huge bubble trail. This lure is tied with either a natural or synthetic tail and a molded foam head.

Fishing for tarpon requires a medium to heavy spinning reel and a rod that is long enough to carry it. Waszczuk recommends braided line in the 40- to 50-pound range. You can select the weight of the line according to how big your tarpon is. 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.
