Here are some tips to help you catch tarpon using artificial lures. We have 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. However, you're going to have to fish a little differently in the open waters than you would in saltwater. It's best to put your bait about ten or fifteen feet in front if you want to retrieve the rolling fish. Then, slowly and with a series on twitches, move it slowly. 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 seem like an easy meal to the Tarpon.
Deep-water fishing is easy with this red-white bunker-colored Mullet. This bait buster has a small, hollow body that allows for a better hookup. The hook can be placed on the top lip or tarpon to allow it to flutter and swim. If you fish in deep water, this bait can be used.
Dr. Dr.
Dr. Fish's Saltwater GT Popper, which is 8 inches long and made of heavy-duty plastic. This lure is also called the "D.O.A Shrimp" because it's a great lure and the best for tarpon. This lure can be used for both large and small tarpon.
Double Barrel Popper is loud and produces large bubble trails. 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've found the right pattern, you'll be well on your way to catching tarpon.
For tarpon fishing, you will need a medium-heavy spinning gear and a long, heavy rod. Waszczuk recommends braided 40-50 pound lines. 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. Try baits that resemble mullet or bunker if you are fishing for tarpon. The color of the bait will vary depending on where they are found.
MirrOlure77M 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 is irresistible to fish because of its darting action. Several natural colors and patterns are available to choose from.
This twitchbait is suspended and stays submerged for 36 inches. This tarpon bait is not meant to be fished in one lure. It should be used slowly and with a steady retrieve. Its hot tiger color, also known as the Tropical color in Cuba, is ideal for tarpon during nighttime or low light conditions. This bait is also great for cubera snapper and jack crevalle.
MirrOlure 77M can be used to cast and trolling for tarpon. It is made from ABS, and has a UV protection finish. It is durable enough to withstand all water conditions. This lure is distinguished by its holographic reflections, which make it stand out in all situations.
X-Rap 3-inch 1/4 ounce clear jig
If you're looking to lure tarpon with a clear jig, the X-Rap jig is a great option. Capt. Jim loves to fish inshore waters with this bait. It is very effective with hooks and has a sinking action when it is stationary. 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. These conditions can be aided by the use of gold or pilchard color.
Another clear jig designed for sight casting is the TerrorEyz 3-inch 1/4 ounce jig. This bait has glitter specs that are designed to catch juvenile Spanish tarpon. It also looks great in clear water, and the manufacturer says it's stuffed with real shrimp. You can't tell if the bait has shrimp stuffed. This bait is made from soft plastic. It still works well at catching Tarpon.
FAQ
How deep can I cast my line of sight?

What happens when I lose a fishing fish?
Losing a fish is part of the game. Sometimes, you will catch a fishing rod and then lose the fish. Keep trying until you catch another fish. Eventually, you will catch another fish.
Statistics
- To substantiate this theory, Knight attempted a systematic inquiry by considering the timing of 200 'record' catches, more than 90 percent were made during a new moon (when no moon is visible). (myfwc.com)
- About 40 percent of all fish are freshwater species. (takemefishing.org)
- For most freshwater species you are most likely to target when first starting out, a reel size of 20 to 30 should be more than enough! (strikeandcatch.com)
- It is estimated there are at least 2 million people who go fishing in California each year. (californiayachtsales.com)

How To
Why would you need a spinning rod?
Spinning Rods can be used to cast your lure directly into the water, without needing to leave the boat. This is a great option if you don’t want to spend too much time returning to the boat after casting. A spinning rod can be used to cast from any location and maintain control of your line. The rod has three main components; handle, butt section, and reel seat. The handle is the part that holds the rod in your hand and grips the shaft. The rod's tips are attached to the hook by the butt portion. Finally, the reel seat holds the reel onto which the line is attached. There are many rod options available today. Some rods are made for fishing specific techniques, like trolling or casting. Others are designed to be used for various purposes, including fly fishing, spin fishing, bait fishing, etc.
The type of rod you select depends on what kind of fish you plan to catch. For example, if you intend to catch large predatory species like pike or bass, you'll need a heavy-duty fishing rod. For smaller species such as salmon or trout, a lighter rod might be better. You could even consider buying multiple rod sizes, depending on how large the fish you are trying to catch.
Spinning Rods can be used for more than just freshwater fishing. They are used extensively for saltwater fishing. Saltwater spinningrods are heavier than their freshwater counterparts. They require stronger materials in order to withstand saltwater. Saltwater spinners have a longer rod length and a bigger diameter. This allows them to cast farther distances. But, there are some drawbacks to saltwater fishing with a spinning rod. First, saltwater spinningrods don't come with reels. You must buy one individually. Secondly, they are typically quite expensive. If you love catching bigger fish, then a spinning rod may be something to consider.
A spin fishing method is when a fisherman uses his spinning rod to cast a weighted lure in the water. When the lure moves through the water it turns around its weighted center point. This causes the lure to move erratically in the water, making it difficult for fish to detect the lure. Fish may mistakenly consider the lure food and begin eating it. It will then attract more fish to the lure. The lure's line can then be reeled in by a fisherman. Once the lure is pulled, the fisherman can keep going until he catches the desired number of fish.
