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. 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 following a 1-second pause followed by a 3-second pause. You can then change to a 1-two count if retrieving erratically. 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 has a small, hollow body that allows for a better hookup. The hook allows it to sit on the top lip of tarpon and flutter as it swims. This bait is best for fishing in deep waters.

When fishing for tarpon, you should use a medium-heavy spinning reel and a long, medium-heavy rod. Waszczuk recommends braided 40-50 pound lines. The size of your tarpon can determine the weight of the line. Add a fluoroleader (or a leader) to your terminal end. Slowly work your bait with the tip.

How To
Why should you use a spinning rod?
Spinning Rods can be used to cast your lure directly into the water, without needing to leave the boat. If you don’t have the time or desire to get back in your boat quickly after each cast, it’s a great choice. A spinning rod will allow you to cast from any position, while maintaining control over your line. There are three major components to the rod; handle, butt and reel section. The handle is where you hold the rod and grip the shaft. Attach the rod's end to the hook in the butt area. Finally, the reel seat holds the reel onto which the line is attached. There are many options for rods. Some rods can only be used for trolling and casting. Others can be used for a variety of purposes, such as fly fishing, spin-fishing, and bait fishing.
The type of fish you intend to catch will determine the type of rod that you choose. A heavy-duty rod is best if you are targeting large predatory species such as pike or bass. If you are fishing for smaller species, such a trout or salmon, a lighter weight rod may work better. You could even consider buying multiple rod sizes, depending on how large the fish you are trying to catch.
Spinning Rods don't have to be limited to freshwater fishing. They can also be used for saltwater fishing. Saltwater spinning reels are typically heavier than freshwater rods. This is because saltwater requires stronger materials to withstand saltwater. Saltwater spinners have a longer rod length and a bigger diameter. This allows them to cast further distances. There are downsides to saltwater spinning rods. Saltwater spinning rods are not like freshwater ones. Instead, you will have to buy one separately. The second reason is that they can be quite expensive. If you are interested in catching larger fish, a spinning rod might be worth looking at.
A spin fishing method is when a fisherman uses his spinning rod to cast a weighted lure in the water. When the lure swims through the water, it spins around the weighted center point. This causes the lure's motion to be unpredictable in the water and makes it difficult for fishes to see. The lure could also be mistaken for food by fish and they may begin to eat it. As a result, the lure will attract more fish to it. The fisherman can then reel in the line attached to the lure. Once the lure is pulled, the fisherman can keep going until he catches the desired number of fish.
