This will make your bait appear like a tasty meal to the Tarpon.

You only need a rod. A reel. Line, sinkers, weights, hooks. A simple pole will suffice to cast. Simply hold the rod vertically over the water to cast. Next, lower the rod tip so that it touches the water. The line will begin unwinding from the reel once it reaches the water. After the line reaches its maximum length, let go of the rod. The lure will then fall back into water.
Trolling is another method for catching fish. Trolling is a technique that uses a boat to move a lure through the water.
