We have covered the X-Rap Twitchin’ Mullet, Dr. Fish's Saltwater GT Popper is covered as well as MirrOlure 77M twitchbait and the X-Rap 3-inch 1/4-ounce clear jig. Each of these flies has a different action, and each works well.
X-Rap Twitchin' Mullet
A mullet imitation is a good choice if you want to catch tarpon using artificial lures. In open water, however, you will have to fish slightly differently than you would in saltwater. Your bait should be suspended ten to fifteen yards in front of the fish, and you will need to slowly work it with a series 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 easy to the Tarpon.
This red-white bunker-colored mullet is a good choice for deep-water fishing. This baitbuster's hollow body makes for a better hookup. It can sit on top of the tarpon's lip and flutter while it swims. If you fish in deep water, this bait can be used.

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.
