If you're looking to catch tarpon on artificial lures, you've come to the right place. We have covered the X-Rap Twitchin’ Mullet, 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
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. 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 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 like an easy 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.
Dr. Fish's Saltwater GT Popper
Dr. Fish's Saltwater GT Popper measures 8 inches in length, and is made of tough plastic. This lure is also known by the "D.O.A Shrimp" and is the best lure for tarpon. This lure can be used for both large and small tarpon.
The Double Barrel Popper produces a massive sound and a big bubble trail. This lure is tied with either a natural or synthetic tail and a molded foam head. 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.
When fishing for tarpon, you should use a medium-heavy spinning reel and a long, medium-heavy rod. Waszczuk recommends braided lines weighing between 40 and 50 pounds. You can select the weight of the line according to how big your tarpon is. 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. 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 twitch bait
MirrOlure 77M shad twitchbait works well for tarpon, bluefish and snook. These twitch baits can sink to several foot and are available in many attractive patterns. This bait gives fish an irresistible darting effect. There are many natural colors and patterns to choose from.
This twitch bait has a suspending action that stays submerged for up to 36 inches. This bait should not be fished with one lure. Instead, it should be slowly brought in and used for a slow and steady retrieve. The hot tiger colour, also known in Cuba as the Tropical color, is ideal for tarpon at night or under low light conditions. This twitch bait also works great on jack crevalle and cubera snapper.
MirrOlure 77M twitchbait is all-purpose and can be used for trolling or casting. It is made from ABS, and has a UV protection finish. It's designed to withstand a wide range of water conditions. This makes it versatile and highly efficient. This lure stands out in any environment thanks to its holographic reflections.
X-Rap 3-inch 1/4 ounce clear jig
The X-Rap jig makes a great lure for tarpon. This bait is a favourite of Capt. Jim likes to fish inshore water with this bait. It is very effective with hooks and has a sinking action when it is stationary. This bait is great for clear water fishing and can be fished near a dock or on the beach. It can also be used in brackish or shallow flats. These conditions are ideal for the gold and pilchard colors.
Another clear jig designed for sight casting is the TerrorEyz 3-inch 1/4 ounce jig. The bait is stocked with glitter specs in order to catch juvenile Tarpon. It also looks great when it's clear water. The manufacturer even claims that the bait is stuffed with shrimp. But if you're not sure whether it's stuffed with shrimp, don't worry because this bait is made of soft plastic, and it's still very effective at catching tarpon.
